Public bug reported:

CID: 201305-13673 Dell Inspiron 5437
CID: 201307-14038 Dell Vostro 5470

The graphic card NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 740M]
does not work well with the proprietary driver

Before installing the proprietary driver, there are 4 resolutions available:
1366 x 768
1360 x 768
1024 x 768
800 x 600
They all work fine.

After the proprietary nVidia driver was installed, the available resolutions become:
1366 x 768*
1360 x 768*
1024 x 768*
960 x 720
960 x 600
960 x 540
928 x 696
896 x 672
800 x 600*

But only the one with asterisk works, see attached photo for what happened to other resolution options.
And if you switch from a not working resolution to 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, it might have some issues.
