I have also had the same problems reported in this bug report.  My setup is:
OS: Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 64-bit
Kernel: 2.6.35-30-generic
Video: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 8800 
GT] (rev a2)
Monitors: Dual ASUS VK266H in DVI-D mode.

When the mouse cursor dissapears on my primary screen but still works on
my secondary screen, the follow dmesg occurs:

Same thing happens just like the other people mention: No switching to
VT's, use of monitors program crashes machine, happens only after
running the machine for some hours.

I think I triggerred the bug this time when I had a qemu virtual machine
running (actually three at the same time) and I was moving the mouse in
and out of the virtual machine in usb tablet mode.

I am currently testing patched kernel 2.6.35-30-generic
#55~lp583760v201107071554ller (rev 10) so lets wait a week and see what
happens.
