Tantibus Vulgaris, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w520 an update to your BIOS is available (1.42). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

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, then please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Desktop is distorted after update to 331.113

Status in xorg 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.
