nvidia-settings travando após selecionar um display

Question

Após uma nova instalação do Ubuntu 14.04 LTS no meu computador, tive alguns problemas com a nvidia, especialmente com o nvidia-settings. Quando tento alterar a resolução e pressione 'Aplicar', apenas fecha e gera um erro no meu terminal:

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 785 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.)

Eu tentei abrir com a opção de pesquisa e com o sudo no terminal

Saída do dpkg -l | grep nvidia:

Answer 1

Sugiro tentar isso:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*  
sudo reboot 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-358
sudo reboot
