I use the proprietary Nvidia driver on two different workstations under F12, one at home and one at work, for two different reasons. At home, I have a MythTV server and my desktop is a front end, so I need VDPAU. I also have some 3D games, so I need 3D. Neither of those is supported by nouveau. I have no display-related problems with this machine. I have another machine that is mostly a server that uses the same relatively new Dell monitor, and so I just use nouveau on that machine (don't need 3D or VDPAU). It happily does full HD resolution without problems.
Do/did you notice that your screen appeared a tad bigger once you went to the propr. driver? As in, your fonts (evolution as example) appear smaller than before?
