Bug Description

I have 3 monitors and a pair of Nvidia GTX 680's in SLI powering my system. I have noticed that regarldess of which propeitary nvidia driver I install, all force a crash to the the command line. If the command sudo apt-get remove purge nvidia-current is used, the problem is fixed as the driver is removed. As it stands now I have all sorts of little graphical issues and two monitors I can't use because X server crashes. I think that this ties into a known issue with 3D graphics support across more than 2 monitors.
