I'm using Nvidia prime with a Quadro K1100M card.
When I switch from intel to nvidia, then after booting I randomly get a black screen [about 50% of the times]. EDIT: after latest kernel update, now it happens ALL the times!

I can't but switch to a virtual console by pressing [Ctrl+Alt+Fn] and then reboot.
