Richard Eames, 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, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

The primary monitor's default resolution is higher than the other two monitors so when it first started the other two wouldn't display anything. I changed the resolution of all three to the maximum they could all support, but they're still all mirrored. Then I changed the screen layout so that there is no mirroring. After applying the changes, gnome-shell and X die bringing me back to the login screen. If I just mirror the monitors, all three will display. I've tried changing the layout through arandr, and gnome-control- center with the same result. Before I changed the monitor configuration I had two 1920x1080 monitors on the primary video card, and one other 1680x1024 on my secondary video card. This configuration worked.
