I confirm that the problem exists also on a updated install from Utopic to Vivid 15.04, but Nouveau driver is working just fine.

To use Nouveau driver I did the following:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-settings nvidia-349 nvidia-prime nvidia-opencl-icd-349
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
