Using x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-355.11  breaks my setup.
Primary monitor is an HP w2297h 
Secondary Monitor is an Pavilion 22x (1920x1080)

Staring KDE with the mentioned nvidia driver the display on the primary monitor is shown wrong. I have a black border on the left which is about 1/6 of the screen. The primary display is distorted, secondary is displayed fine.
Checking under X Server Display Configuration with nvidia-settings shows the correct values (1680x1050) and (1920x1080).

GFX Card is a GeForce GTX 660 

Switching back to x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-352.41 solves the problem.

Please report this to Nvidia. Gentoo merely distributes their closed source
drivers.
