I don't have any useful comment here, but subjectively, it feels
immensely weird to me and irritates me every time I plug my external
monitor in, as my mouse starts going exactly twice as fast in the
horizontal dimension (relative to vertical) as before.  We definitely
need some kind of scaling; I think scaling based on Screen is _almost_
the right metric.  It seems like we should be using the dimensions of
the CRTC[0] the pointer's currently on instead.

Cheers,
Daniel

[0]: Or, if we're in clone mode, just pick _a_ CRTC (primary if
possible, else random I guess).
