Public bug reported: My laptop is the Dell XPS 15 L502X Nvidia Optimus laptop
GPUs: Intel HD Graphics 3000 Nvidia GT 540M Installed nvidia-prime on trusty on kernel 3.13, getting a black screen when Nvidia enabled. No video is output to screen when using Nvidia GPU. Must switch to VT and uninstall nvidia drivers, restart lightdm service, reinstall nvidia drivers, disable Nvidia GPU from nvidia-settings and reboot. On Intel GPU, it works fine. The nvidia-prime setup worked well on kernel 3.12, but on upgrade to kernel 3.13 it stopped working. Used nvidia-331-updates and nvidia-331, same issue with both. Also installed nvidia-331-updates-uvm/nvidia-331-uvm, if it makes a difference.
