The blinking is caused by data underflow to the display controllers.  All
clients on the GPU (displays, 3D engine, etc.) contend for memory bandwidth. 
If you have a card with limited memory bandwidth (like yours), you may get
underflow if there is not enough bandwidth to service the displays at a
particular moment in time.  Running several large monitors increases the memory
bandwidth requirements.  The display watermarks may need some fine tuning for
situations like yours.  Additional things to try:
1. try a lower refresh rate
2. Disable acceleration (Option "NoAccel" "True" in the device section of your
xorg.conf)
3. Disable Tiling (Option "ColorTiling" "False" in the device section of your
xorg.conf)
4. Try mesa 9.1 or newer.
