[Bug 1537124] Re: dual monitor setup half second screen does not display some programs

 

there aren't really many stickers (?) -- it's kind of a frankencomputer.

IBM IntelliStation Z Pro -- ( http://www.amazon.com/IBM-71P8496-System-Board-IntelliStation/dp/B016YK634G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1454362311&sr=8-2&keywords=ibm+intellistation+z+pro+6221 looks like it)
Motherboard: Microstar MS-9121 (looks like http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-Star-MS-9121-Motherboard-and-Heatsink-as-pictured-/231697475068?hash=item35f23ee5fc:g:E3MAAOSwFnFWAaEw )
Video Card: Nvidia 8890 VER:100 D33088 180-10111-0000-A01 
ram: pc2-ddr25331-2 256mb  (x4)
cpu: cual cpu, the sticker on the side says intel Xeon (which is the same as ProcCpuinfo.txt says).  Could take the cpu heat sinks off if absolutely need be.
i/o controller: Intel 82801DB

Title:
  dual monitor setup half second screen does not display some programs

Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Same bug was present in Ubuntu 12.04 + unity (+/- compiz) for same
  machine, upgrade to 14.04 and switch to openbox did not help.  See
  screenshot: gnome-terminal is cut in half.  Any attempt to move it
  further right and it does not display anything further right than that
  line.  Openbox dock is cut off in the same spot(though sometimes also
  disappears entirely).  Some other applications(eg xterm) do display to
  the right of that line.
