strange effect on 3rd monitor

Hi everybody, I'm having a little problem that I can't seem to solve...

I've searched and searched google and forums and nvidia, with no luck. Anyway I have 3 monitors configured as independent screens. Screen one and screen two are fine with no issues. Screen three has a little bug that is really irritating! Drives me nuts when I'm working on that monitor. If I right click too close to the right side of the screen, or open a menu too close to the right side, the menu will not snap to full view and just remains cut off, like in this screen-shot of the upper right corner of the screen...

I think this started happening after the last nvidia update, when I had to switch to nvidia legacy drivers due to the 3rd monitor being connected to a gforce4 mmx. The primary screen uses gforce7900 and the 2nd uses a gforce6800.

I don't have any warnings or errors in my xorg log file and I'm pretty sure my xorg.conf is ok, but I'll post it anyway. maybe there's something I keep overlooking?

I'm kind of thinking maybe this is a bug in the nvidia legacy driver for gforce4 cards that only occurs in a multi independent screen setup, since I didn't have this problem before the last nvidia upgrade using the same xorg.conf file. Or maybe it's something to do with kde? I got brave and switched to kdemod thinking it might solve it, but it didn't. :sigh:

Update.... I added a bunch of valid modelines to that monitor to see if it would make a difference but it didn't, but it sure did enhance the apearence of that screen! My old modeline must have been off the mark a little!
