Public bug reported: In Ubuntu 14.04 I can't change resolution or refresh rate using nvidia-settings (have no problems while doing this from "Displays"). When I click "Apply" nvidia-settings crash so I opened it in terminal and got this error:
The program 'nvidia-settings' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 544 error_code 2 request_code 157 minor_code 25) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
