Bug Description
Using nvidia proprietary driver on a Dell Inspiron 8200 with a Samsung 1600x1200 screen, the desktop is only shown on about the top left 4/5 of the screen, with multicolor vertical lines on the right and a mirror of the top part of the desktop at the bottom of the screen. The desktop is shown in full, only it's shrinked to 4/5 of its size.
Using the free nv driver, everything is ok except I'd be happy if it was snappier :)
