When changing the configuration settings in the 'Displays" option in the system settings, Unchecking the mirror displays box would almost always result in a glitchyness and often freezing. When trying to rearrange displays in the "displays" menu it would ALWAYS result in my desktop freezing and having to force a reboot. After 6-7 attempts at trying to get my displays configured properly, they now have the proper orientation and settings, but it is very fragile. (for proper orientation I had to physically swith the DVI connections on my video output) If I try to use the Dash on the second screen, 4/5 times it will glitch, and my screens will start flashing white until the desktop is completely unusable, and I must force reboot. I would also like to note that I tried to do an upgrade from my 11.10 desktop, but was immediately met with freezing when trying to log into my desktop. I believe it was due to my having my orientation settings set to monitor 2 on the left and monitor 1 on the right. These settings seem to always crash the 12.04 desktop, and I believe the settings being transfered from 11.10 lead to constant freezes when trying to log into 12.04 desktop.
