Description:
Mouse pointer gets stuck on one screen with "synaptics" touchpad driver and "Xinerama" in Xorg.

Additional info:
This bug has been fixed in mouse driver since "xf86-input-mouse 1.2.3-1",
but is still observed with "synaptics 0.14.6.99-1".
The description of the fix for "mouse.c" from mouse driver source is available at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=116664&cat=ports .
The same fix works and should be applied for "synaptics.c" in sources of synaptics driver.

Steps to reproduce:
set the "xorg.conf" similar to the following
Section "InputDevice"
...
Driver "synaptics"
...
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
...
Screen "scr1"
Screen "scr2" RightOf "scr1"
Option "Xinerama" "true"
...
EndSection

Launch X window system, move the mouse pointer to another screen and see it being caught there.
This task depends upon
