Bug description:
  Until yesterday the 14.04 install on this Thinkpad T530 (nvidia
  Optimus) with nvidia-331 drivers worked just fine, including excellent
  multi-monitor behavior. Yesterday the set of packages below [1] was
  updated. I shut down, booted this morning and found out that I was not
  shown the lightdm login screen: I was stuck at the purple screen that
  precedes it (into which I enter my disk encryption password).

  Now the funny thing is that I could hear the lightdm startup sound and
  could actually login by typing my password (disk activity and started
  processes verify I am actually logged in), but I can't see anything:
  I'm still stuck at the puple screen.

  Uninstalling the nvidia drivers solved the problem: I'm typing this in
  a browser window using the nouveau drivers.

  I atttempted switching to nvidia-304, but that doesn't work either.
  Using those drivers I am shown the lightdm login screen, but after
  logging in I'm stuck with a screen showing only the background image.
  Nothing else is available, no keyboard or mouse trickery will reveal
  any menu, dialog or terminal to gain access.

  Since nouveau doesn't support a multi-monitor setup, it would be great
  if I someone could tell me how to get the nvidia drivers working
  again.

  Some things I noticed:
  - .xsession-errors reported 'Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"'
  - /var/log/Xorg.0.log reported 'setversion 1.4 failed: Permission denied'
