I don't see this slowness or black screen with nv.  Also s-c-d properly detects 
my current resolution at 1280x1024 and my monitor/graphics card as well.

Run it in a terminal and see if you get any output that suggests where the blame 
should be -- its not clear which is causing the problem.  The slowness and 
resolution detection being wrong is probably s-c-d, but resulting in a black 
screen and screwy UI sounds like something with nv/X.  I'd file it against s-c-d 
probably since thats what triggers the problem anyway.
