Re: Gnome desktop: mouse suddenly won't move to left screen

I'm sure this is something simple, but on my gnome desktop which uses an ATI dual-output card for a dual-screen layout, I suddenly can't move the mouse off the right-side screen. The left side is recognized by the resolution switcher, and displays fine, but there's no way (that I can see) to actually use the real estate. To my knowledge I have done nothing to make that happen. Here's my xorg.conf (below).

System is running debian testing, Gnome 2.22.3, kernel 2.6.24.

Thanks for *any* advice-
Andy

Could your problem be in the following section?
