This happened after ubuntu pushed an nvidia graphics update about a week ago, on upgrade I booted up into this:

Obviously I had to take this picture with a camera, since a screenshot only showed one screen. It's perfectly usable like this, except that it's too small to read.
I of course have tried 'sudo nvidia-xconfig', and a minimal xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Along with purging and reinstalling all of the nvidia packages numerous times. I'm currently running on the VESA driver, which sucks. My chipset is a 9200M, but like I said, it worked perfectly before the last upgrade.
In all my years of using linux and kubuntu, I've seen and fixed numerous nvidia driver errors, but I've never seen one this strange, usually it will run or not run.
