[Michael Mess <1313274@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately the nvidia-331 does not work with the graphics card:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300
GS] (rev a1)

And the nouveau driver which is open source can only display 640x480 on the television set.
So It seems that I have to stay with the nvidia driver.

My problem is now:
 * The 1280 x 720 does not display without Overscan. I can't see the task bar. :-(
 * If I change to 1024 x 768 in System Settings, the computer will send 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz while the television set only supports 60 Hz, leading to a distorted picture. Changing to 60 Hz with nvidia-settings is not possible, because the program crashes when I press "Apply". :-(

Title:
  After upgrading to 14.04, nvidia-settings crashes with "BadValue" X
  Window System error

Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 14.04 the screen resolution is not as I want and
  changing with nvidia-settings is not possible, because the program
  crashes when applying new settings.

  michael@quad:~$ nvidia-settings

  ERROR: Error querying target relations

  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 738 error_code 2 request_code 158 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.)

  The crash occurs when using the "Apply" button.
