I have the drivers for my nvidia installed correctly and the settings for it installed as well in System tools.
I never got this in windows so i know my hardware ain't bunk.

What version of the Nvidia drivers?

I had big similar display issues with the 66.xx edition as did others.

Semi-official Nvidia Linux Forum (Nvidia links to them on their website releases.)

What card do you have?
How is it configured (in particular, I am thinking incorrect RAM size specified)?
Did this do this with the generic nv drivers, or just when you installed the official nVidia driver?
Can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for us to look at?

I had a similar problem w/ these drivers. Having a look at your xorg.conf would help. The thing that fixed it for me was making sure you have a DefaultDepth set in the Screen section.
CODE
Section "Screen"
   Identifier  "Screen 1"
   Device      "nvidia6600gt"
   Monitor     "sonylcd"
   DefaultDepth 24

   Subsection "Display"
       Depth       24
       Modes       "1280x1024"
       ViewPort    0 0
   EndSubsection
EndSection


Here is my Device section for refrence:
CODE
Section "Device"
   Option      "NoLogo" "true"             # [<bool>]
   Option      "HWcursor" "true"           # [<bool>]
   Option      "RenderAccel" "true"        # [<bool>]
   Identifier  "nvidia6600gt"
   Driver      "nvidia"
EndSection


Under modules make sure you comment out dri and enable glx:
CODE
Section "Module"
   Load        "dbe"   # Double buffer extension
   SubSection  "extmod"
     Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
   EndSubSection
   Load        "type1"
   Load        "record"
   Load        "xtrap"
   Load        "freetype"
   Load        "glx"
#  Load        "dri"
EndSection


My full xorg.conf can be found here.
I am using a 6600GT PCI-E card. You may need to set the NvAGP option correctly in Devices.

Always provide the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file when you got issues with X Window because at least half of the time, the problem can be solved by a simple change.
