Thank you Mike,

   I'm running 1920x1200 primary and 1680x1050 secondary. I wonder if the 
difference in size is causing problems now where in the past it did not? 
Otherwise, our hardware is very close:

lspci | grep GeForce
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] 
(rev a1)

   And I'm just running the current software:

pacman -Qi nvidia | grep Version
Version        : 270.30-3
pacman -Qi kernel26 | grep Version
Version        : 2.6.37.5-1
