I have the same symptoms on a Dell M1330 with a 1280x800 screen and an
Nvidia 8400GM using proprietary drivers . I set the resolution once
logged in, the screen's native.
When gdm/X starts I see a cropped Nvidia logo, as though zoomed in, then
a large login box and mouse pointer aslo as if zoomed in. By moving the
mouse I can pan around the virtual screen.
