I spoke a little too soon. Things *mostly* work, but there's an irritating bug I've hit 3 times where the mouse cursor rapidly flashes and the mouse locks up. It looks as though it's confused about which monitor it's on and some of the flashes are on the far right of my leftmost monitor and some on the far left of my right monitor. In earlier release I've seen a couple other quirks where there's some confusion about which area is part of which monitor, but this is teh first time there's a lock up.

I've attached my /var/log/Xorg.0.log. There're some errors in there that might be informative if (unlike me) you actually know what you're doing. Here's the bit that caught my attention:
