RE comment #10 and my own comment #9:
I tried again and can confirm that nomodeset works with kernel 4.4.0-47 and nvidia-367.57.
System boots into xorg with the nvidia drivers in use and working completely.
My mistake was that I had left the following line in /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
So this is what it needs to look like:
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" #GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"
