This issue has been plaguing my triple-headed setup as well, keeping me from adding a 32" HDTV as a fourth monitor for a combination of multiple-network monitoring, better media capability, and bragging rights.

One thing I noticed: while trying out a few Playstation emulators, one caused my primary display to resize to 640x480, and it couldn't be resized without rebooting the machine. However, the entire time it was set to that resolution, the system was stable --- for the first time since going to 10.04+GNOME (and, indeed, Ubuntu in general --- I'm a relatively-new convert from Mandriva+KDE with regard to desktop).

For posterity, my current xorg.conf is attached. (Subject to change multiple times weekly, mind you, as I continue to attempt to find a resolution. ;-P)

Things of note:

    1.) The mouse will hang at least once per day, seemingly at random, and sometimes multiple times per day.
    2.) The mouse will *ONLY* hang between screens zero (0) and one (1). There has never been an issue with the other screen seam.
    3.) Screen 0 is on an nVidia GeForce 8400 GS, while Screen 1 and Screen 2 are on an nVidia GeForce 9400 GT.
    4.) Again, while Screen 0 was at 640x480, there was no issues for > 14 days. Coincidence?
