This is what nvidia has to say: "Mouse problem with X.org 7.3 and multiple X screens or Xinerama" "The version of xf86-input-mouse shipped with X.org 7.3 contains a bug that confines the pointer to one of the screens. You can avoid this problem by using the xf86-input-evdev driver instead." That's from: http://nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 That's on the nvnews linux forum. Since I believe evdev is linux specific, that clearly won't work for FreeBSD users.
