This shouldn't be marked as expired. The bug still affects me, the
display freezes periodically when using the nvidia card and can only be
recovered by switching in an out of the dm. However, this makes normal
work impossible. So I think everybody just uses their intel card
instead. This doesn't mean that the bug doesnt exist.

Title:
  nvidia prime causing mouse and screen to freeze

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I upgraded to Ubuntu Trusty Tahr . Currently running with updates as of 6th Feb. 64bit. 
  After installing nvidia-prime and nvidia-331, i can see frequent mouse freezes. Once the mouse is frozen, it doesn't allow Alt+Tab functionality. Only way to get out of this is by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 . I can bring back by unloading and loading the psmouse module

  modprobe -r psmouse.
