I had the same issue on my Asus N552VX laptop. Installing 367.27 from nvidia-367 worked fine after running prime-select intel but prime-select nvidia would lead to the login loop issue people have noted here. Once logged in via the intel graphics option nvidia-settings wouldn't load.

nvidia-xconfig
dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

from Ctrl + Alt + F1 shell fixed the issue for me. The driver is still broken as multiple screens don't work under nvidia mode, but I can get away with playing games under nvidia mode and working under intel mode.
