A lot of people complain about an issue with dvi and vga output after upgraded to the nvidia driver 355.11 on linux, specialy on archlinux https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1566720

We are in wait and looking for a solution, someone have black borders on the screen, bad resolution, and in my case I have an auto adjust screen with no black borders but my text is aliased and really ugly as you can see here https://oxhak.fr/nvidia_bug_355.11.png

People who downgraded had no issue anymore.

This issue is here from two weeks and no workaround or fix in update.

Additional info:
nvidia 355.11-*

Steps to reproduce:
Plug a vga screen
This task depends upon

I have exaclty the same problem. Fonts are illegible. Also colors of the fonts are messed up (yellow chars appear with green stripes).
Downgrading all nvidia packages to 352.41-1, mesa to 10.6.7-1 and linux to 4.1.6-1 solves the problem.
