I want to note that I have not experienced this issue in awhile. That could be because of one or all of these things: 1) The problem has been solved in the software (unlikely) 2) I have not been using a Virtual Machine (could be tied to #3) 3) I have noticed that my memory usage is relatively low lately (with both actually memory and cache added together). This tells me that it may have been a memory issue making something crash due to the lack of available memory.

I have two 8800GTS video cards and two monitors on each card. With Xinerama enabled and moving the mouse between screens the mouse will get stuck. At that point Xorg will increase in memory usage very quickly it looks like a hundred megs every couple seconds. I can go to another machine and kill Xorg then it will restart and I can use the system again but this is very frustrating. This setup has been working fine for a long time now but it seems that Xinerama is xorg 1.7 is just kind of broken.
