Still no change in behaviour -- the cursor still moves off the left side of
the screen and reappears on the right side, and stops moving to the left
partway across the screen. It's as if the position of the cursor is about ½
of the screen width to the left of where it should be.

The /var/log.Xorg.0.log after making all your suggested changes is at:
