It's my Acer Aspire One 522 netbook display after logout. It's like dragged in.
First boot isn't, just when I logout and try to log back in. I got this also in Zenwalk Gnome. Is it of graphic driver, or else? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Look like a GDM problem. Are you running MATE?

Zenwalk Gnome also uses the Kernel 2.6.37.4 package. You might try Shador's new kernel http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3562.

Yes, I'm using Salix MATE.
I'm not sure if it's GDM problem, because after login the display remains like that.

This is most probably an issue with your graphics card. What is it? Provide the output of run as root.

ATI Radeon HD 6250

You are using autologin and when you first boot, your display looks fine, then you log out and your display is messed up and remains messed up when you log back in.

It would be interesting to see, if you disabled autologin, how your display looks after booting into the gdm login window.

I'm not using autologin. That's why I'm not sure it's GDM problem.

It's not a GDM problem, it's most probably something with your graphics card. You still haven't provided any information about it.

So, this is what I understand:

1. You are not using autologin and when you first boot and you first see the gdm login window, your display looks fine, then you log in and your display still looks fine, then you log out and your display is messed up and remains messed up when you log back in.

2. You have a ATI Radeon HD 6250 graphics card and you are using the xf86-video-radeonhd driver.

Are these correct?

Whatever his graphics card is, it functions properly until he logs in and back out of GDM. It is logical that there isn't anything wrong with his graphics card. The Acer Aspire One 522 is a net book and its not like he can swap graphics cards, anyway.
