Title:
  Dell Inspiron 8200 Nvidia proprietary driver causes display errors
  (vertical lines on the right, and mirror effect on the
  bottom)[Workaround Available]

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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 :)
