Hi Christopher,

Thanks for your response.  At the moment I have unistalled the nvidia
drivers and am using the nouveau drivers.  Do I need to re-install the
nvidia drivers before I carry out the command you have asked for?

Title:
  nvidia proprietary driver stopped working after ubuntu 14.04 updates
  from  18 November 2014

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Dual Screen not working on 14.04 when I log in today.  Get error
  message:

  Failed to apply configuration: %s

  GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquark.Code2:
  could not set the configuration for CRTC 63

  Yesterday I applied updates.  Ubuntu software history shows these as:

  bsdutils(2.20.1-5.1ubuntu20.2,2.20.1-5.1ubuntu20.3)
  xserver-xorg-video-intel(2.99.910-0ubuntu1.2,2.99.910-0ubuntu1.3)

  Previous to this I have had no problems with dual screen on 14.04.

  Solved this by reverting back to the Nouveau driver rather than using
  the recommended proprietary driver under the Softwares
  &Updates>Additional Drivers link.  The recommended nvidia proprietary
  driver (version 331.38) previously worked but doesn't work after the
  above Ubuntu updates.  Graphics card used GeForce GT 540M.
