Please try the nvidia-settings binary built by nvidia. Just to make sure
it is not an issue of the patches etc. being used in the Debian package,

download
<http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/280.13/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-280.13.run>
to some temp folder

extract it:

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-280.13.run --extract-only

from the extracted directory run the nvidia-settings binary

Thanks.
