If it helps any, I too am getting this and I've been using "gcore" to generate a core file from the Xorg process.

I have two nVidia G-series video cards:
 * GeForce 9400 GT - this drives "screen 1" (middle)
 * GeForce 8600 GT - this drives "screen 0" and "screen 2" (left and right)

My xorg.conf section that defines this:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Layout0"
    Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
    Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
    Screen 2 "Screen2" RightOf "Screen1"
    InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    Option "Xinerama" "1"
EndSection

In my case, it locks up at the border between screens about evenly so I don't think it's strictly a Screen0:Screen1 border issue...

I'm running a fully updated Ubuntu 10.04, and I'm able to install any developer tools to assist in debugging and/or dumping the core file data.
