Bug description:
  ** this appears to be that the display is blanked/asleep at greeter & login.
  Forcing or waiting for screen to blank/sleep then waking up restores display
  See comments 8 & 10 for further info, demonstrations **

  Please note that this bug is being filed on a recent 15.10 Ubuntu
  image install but from a gnome session

  In a nutshell -
  Once nividia drivers are installed & used from nvidia-prime there is no longer a visible display in unity-greeter nor in an ubuntu session once logged in. (a blind log in successfully loads an ubuntu session.
  Everything in the ubuntu session works fine, there are no errors & all the related logs look ok, there is just no visible display.

  I can open apps, run commands, copy/create logs, play music, play
  videos, just no display so has to be done blindly from keyboard.

  On the other hand if I install gnome-shell & log in (blindly) to a
  gnome session from greeter then all is well & I get a visible
  display.

  The same behaviour is seen on an Xubuntu image install, once nvidia is
  installed & switched to, no visible display. Again there installing &
  logging into a gnome session works fine with visible display

  nvidia driver version doesn't matter, exact same is seen with current
  15.10 versions & the one I'm currently using (355) from drivers ppa.

  ** this appears to be that the display is blanked/asleep at greeter & login.
  Forcing or waiting for screen to blank/sleep then waking up restores display
  See comment 8 for further info **
