Unable to change the refresh rate of the monitor

[Renan Araujo Rischiotto]

The xrandr does not work with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, and in Unity and "NVIDIA X Server Settings" there is no option to change the refresh rate of the monitor.

Ubuntu 14.04.1
Xorg 1.15.1
Driver 331.38

"sudo lspci -c display" output:

Could you please run the following command once from a terminal by ensuring you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information:
