Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.8 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Still get the same issue with rc5 & nvidia
See xorg.0.log above, and these /var/log/upstart/ additional errors

[dino99 (9d9)]

Same error with the latest 3.8.0-4 kernel & nvidia-310

dino99, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, please just make a comment to this.

[Expired for linux (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

It's still an issue in trusty, at least. It may be contributing to being unable to get 4-headed X working properly across 2 GPUs (this is a dual GPU 4-output workstation card)

Xinerama works - badly.
