Title:
  nVidia GK208M [GeForce GT 740M][10de:1292] unable to use all available
  resolutions with the proprietary driver

Status in HWE Next Project:
  New
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
