Bug Description
System: Dell Latitude E5440 with Intel IGC and Nvidia discrete graphics.
On vivid, I used "additional drivers" to install Nvidia 331 stable driver, which installed Nvidia-prime and automatically selected Nvidia as the main display. After rebooting lightdm comes up with the display turned off (I can hear the login screen sound).
Changing to a text vt and calling `sudo prime-select intel` followed by `sudo restart lightdm` returned me to the working login screen on the Intel display. The reverse can be used to get back to a disabled internal screen with the Nvidia driver.
I'm not using an external HDMI connected display.
