I may be experiencing a similar issue.  Mine manifests on boot and also
if I unplug my external monitor -- Xorg crashes and I am returned to a
login screen.

I installed 340.76 to see if this would fix the issue, but it actually
made it worse since now my laptop's built-in monitor can only run at
640x480 with that driver.  Same goes for 352.21.

I got a notification during install of the drivers that a preinstall
script failed or something to that effect, but continued anyway.  The
effect is the same, but there is no crash report generated with the
updated drivers when I unplug my 2nd monitor.

Title:
  10de:0dda [Lenovo ThinkPad W520] Desktop is distorted after update to
  331.113

Status in Nvidia:
  New
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 331.113 I have experienced distorted desktop. I
  have also experienced the same problem after trying to upgrade to
  14.10 and that's why I've reverted to backup of 14.04.

  I is quite strange. Unity controls are ok. I.e. Dash and panel on top
  look ok. But desktop itself and application windows are stretched to
  multi-monitor setup. If I arrange monitors side by side, desktop and
  applications are distorted horizontally. If I arrange them top to
  bottom, desktop is distorted vertically.

  It is interesting, that even screenshot is taken "as is", i.e. showing
  distortion.

  On my current setup I have Dash on both (or three) screens and top
  panel repeating. In the screenshot with distortion, however, there's
  only one Dash and top panel is not visible (only line seen) on laptop
  screen.

  Mouse cursor is ok, but it is impossible to point to correct location
  on desktop or application window: some "hit and miss" involved.

  I am using Nvidia Optimus with nvidia-prime and lightdm for dual or
  three monitor setup (with docking station), laptop screen running on
  Intel card.

  I suppose this might be simply old configuration files or some package
  version, that is not compatible with 331.113. I've reverted to 331.38
  and everything's ok. Note, that upgrading to 14.10 had exactly the
  same effect.
