themusicgod1, as per
https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=migr-45279
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available
(1.51). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.51

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

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

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.
