I have a smilar case as teo1978. - I have a dell laptop with Optimus
technology with both Intel and Nvidia GPU.

Before the upgrade from 331 to 340 I never managed to get the Nvidia GPU
running, so I just used Intel instead. After the upgrade, the Nvidia GPU
was turned on by default but something was wrong with the configuration
in the xorg.conf file. Because of this I got a black screen after
rebooting.

The solution that I linked a few posts up actually has a thorough
explanation of what happened. It shows how to fix the xorg.conf file and
how to prevent ubuntu from changing it back after reboot (it was crucial
for me).

After all that my laptop started to actually use the Nvidia GPU for both
daily use and manually running simulation on GPU.
