Title:
  Lenovo W520: display for one screen stretched over both when docked

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When using the proprietary Nvidia drivers 331.113, the output from one
  window is often stretched to cover both by Unity. One thing that I
  noticed is that the standard xrandr-based Displays panel in System
  Settings shows both outputs, but nvidia-settings shows only the
  external monitor.

  WORKAROUND: Use another window manager.

  WORKAROUND: In Unity, manually configure the display output locations
  and sizes in ccsm.
