I have the same problem:

ubuntu 12.04 (upgraded because I had the problem in 11.10 suddenly. It worked for many months without problem.)
G86, Quadro NVS 290
AMD64
3.2.0-26-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP
using dual monitors

went through this thread and others and tried:

1- Adding the following which made it worse, so I removed it.
Option "UseEvents" "False"
In the "Device" section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file .

2- Added ppa and switched to 302.17 from xorg-edgers.

type of messages I get vary:
