This is probably a duplicate of bug 1273652.

A workaround is to manually download the nvidia-settings-304 package
from the 12.04 repository and install that, which works okay for me on
14.10 at least.

Title:
  nvidia-settings error while changing resolution and refresh rate

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 14.04 I can't change resolution or refresh rate using nvidia-settings (have no problems while doing this from "Displays").
  When I click "Apply" nvidia-settings crash so I opened it in terminal and got this error:

  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 544 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.)

  I'm using this version of nvidia-settings
