Just wanted to post a quick workaround that works on my HP Pavilion
dv1648 laptop (two 1280x768 displays): when I leave the monitor
configuration as side-by-side, per default, it crashes with all the
usual symptoms described above. However, if I reconfigure to show one
monitor as being above the other BEFORE trying to apply dual display, it
works just fine. I assume that this means 1536 is within the limits of
the video card; 2560 is not. This may make, for example, setting up a
projector a little quicker than the metacity workaround, for those who
like to stick to Compiz.
