I think we have encountered similar problems, and because of the instability with the rt-kernel we have been using the desktop kernel. The setup consists of nVidia GeForce 8800GTX and a Core 2 Quad and it is connected to 30 inch Dell monitor (with 2560x1600 resolution). It used to be a huge problem for me (as I make music as a hobby) and I also use the X-plane flight simulator on that machine (which means that not using 3D acceleration is not an option). I finally gave up half-way and have ever since been producing my music on Mac with Logic Studio, I only occasionally may use some sounds from the Ubuntu machine. I really hope the real time kernel gets more stable with nVidia in the future. I have encountered this instability from the times I used Agnula (long time ago) and it hasn't completely got stable even in the latest versions of Ubuntu it seems.
