** Summary changed:

- Fails to load nvidia, fails to fallback to intel properly
+ nvidia fails, likely from xserver

** Description changed:

- Fresh install of 15.10, image of 09/06, only synaptic installed 
+ Fresh install of 15.10, image of 09/06, only synaptic installed
  Hardware is  i7-4700MQ CPU, Intel® Haswell Mobile Nvidia GT770m
  
  Initial bootup/ login is fine
  Installed nvidia-352, install went fine, will attach log
  Rebooted to a black greeter screen (heard sound
  Logged in blindly, black screen
+ Attached logs seem fine
  
- rebooted, at black greeter screen went to tty, purged nvidia*, rebooted.
- Result was a login with no compiz, no unity as the OpenGl plugin was not loaded nor from some further tests could be.
- The only way forward was to remove ~/.config/dconf/user from a tty, then reboot
+ Downgrading xserver-xorg-core to 1.17.1 & nvidia works fine
  
  Same machine runs nvidia driver via nvidia-prime fine in 14.04.3 & 15.04
