nvidia-361 does not work with Geforce 610M (Asus X55VD) Xenial Xerus

[Javi FA]

Hi all, I've got a Asus X55VD laptop with Geforce 610M (with Optimus tecnology) and I've noticed that nvidia-361 version does not work properly, when I install that proprietary driver gdm does not load and gnome does not work either. However with 340 version I can do work proprietary driver but with an exception, I need to install bumblebee-nvidia and all of his dependencies to get a working driver.

I've spoken with people in #Ubuntu (freenode) and they have said me what nvidia-prime is a most recent package to manage Optimus technology, but I cannot get a proprietary driver working with it. Really 610M is most legacy cards of 600M series, but I dunno why I'm having a lot of issues to do work nvidia-361 driver. (on Ubuntu 16.04)

Thanks you so much, I've attached my Xorg.0.log, maybe could be helpful.

Ubuntu 16.04 with nvidia drivers 361 and 364 are NOT working here either in a laptop with intel and nvidia GeForce 940M.
Using either these drivers and nvidia-prime, its installs and works at first graphical boot, after a few minutes the system freezes and only after a hard reset the drivers don't work anymore.
Also, I only managed to get working the driver 361 with bumblebee, however after a suspend the nvidia card cannot be used getting a error of fallen off the bus and the message refused to change state...

In conclusion, these drivers are NOT WORKING!!!!!

I only get the system perfectly working using the 352 drivers and nvidia-prime, the install of the 352 nvidia driver is not working through apt-get and ppa:graphics-driver/ppa,
I had to manually download them from the site and install them manually.

Please fix these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or at least give the people the option to install the 352 drivers through the Additional Drivers in Software and updates.

You should click on "also affects me" button, under the tittle :)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Maybe it is a solution.
I'm installed Ubuntu 16.04 and after that I updated system packages using apt-get, also I installed nvidia-361 right after packages updated. Result is black screen after restart. I deleted nvidia driver, and also I found two kernels installed in my system, I removed old kernel and reinstalled nvidia drivers and reboot. It works now!
