Bug Description

Platform: ASUS K53S.
Video: Intel Integrated Graphics with Nvidia GF119M (GeForce610M), rev. a1.

'log-in loop' on Intel Card & Black Screen on Nvidia Card, happens after installing nvidia-367 driver. nvidia-352 (earlier driver) was throwing the 'Black Screen' after recent kernel update but Intel Card was fine. Latest nvidia driver update (nvidia-367) breaks Intel Display too.
Only work around I've found out is to uninstall nvidia-367 (and related nvidia packages). Battery usage goes too high after removing nvidia driver. (probably G.P.U. is always on?)
