Title:
  booting with nvidia drivers via nvidia-prime results in no display in
  14.04.5

Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Pretty simple & not unknown.
  Test case:
  Optimus laptop
  14.04.5 install or 14.04.x upgraded to lts-xenial HWE stack
  Install nvidia drivers, reboot
  Upon reboot the greeter screen will be blank though the bell will be heard.
  Wait 300+ sec. for idle time out, then wake machine up
  At that point the display is enabled & will be such for the life of the login 
session.

  Solutions:
  1. patch ubuntu-drivers-common to use modesetting for intel (very poor choice 
I'd think
  2. reduce the idle time out in unity-greeter.gschema.xml to 3-4 secs. ( 
another poor choice but could inadvertently help out, particularly with #4
  3. fix this issue ( likely not possible
  4. pre-warn users/upgraders in a 14.04.5 release/upgrade note
  5. provide a patched lts ubuntu-drivers-common only for 14.04.5 HWE
