Last Thursday, for some reason (possibly a power failure), my work desktop had a different video configuration than when I left Wednesday evening. I have two 17" flat panels configured as a two-head wide (side-by-side) single display. When I arrived on Thu, I had two individual desktops instead, the resolution was down to 800x600, and so on. The monitor type had been reset to generic 800x600, and the vido card was unknown. (This was not true before.)
Why not restore your config from backup?
That was another of the oddities - the copy of my xorg.conf file I had for a backup disappeared.... All of the xorg.conf.* files were createad by pyxf86config, instead of system-config-display (i.e., they were prepackaged).
Even so, though, why would the cursor be off-position, and only on the right screen? There's nothing over the screen that would diffract it, unless the screen itself is out of sync, and I ran it through its auto-adjust setting....
Thanks.
