One would be well advised here to check for differanies in the XF86Config 
file,  it may well be XF86Config-4 on your system, there will be differancies 
otherwise it "should" work in the same manor on both systems. 

Check for things like;

HorizSync rate
VertRefresh rate
ModeLine definions

Resolution sizes under "Section Screen".

Considering someone said "nv" driver, check that modiules such as;

dbe
clx
and font modules are correct.

If it works to your likeing on one system then it "should" work the same on 
another system "providing" one configure's it properly.

Another thing is i have not followed this thread fully so forgive me if 
someone else has pointed this out.
