Good question, Chris, Again my hardware is HP mini 110, not Dell. The xorg people fixed my problem seemingly quite completely around 8 months ago (before 13.04). I don't use dual monitors on a regular basis, so I don't know any more than that.

It seems completely random. I was getting similar crashes in 12.04 but using 2d "fixed" that. Now with 12.10 I have to use 3d. By complete freeze I mean no mouse click or key press does anything but I can still see the cursor move with the mouse. When I first installed 12.10 and the system froze I could use ctrl- alt-F1 to restart the display manager, but since a recent system update ctrl-alt-F1 just switches to a black screen (no text). Typing any kind of command seems to have no effect, so it is more than the characters simply not displaying. So this recent system update seems to make the crash more severe when it happens.
