Bug description:
  Using latest Ubuntu Gnome x64 daily build with all updates installed. 
  Lenovo Z70-80 laptop with Nvidia 840M, BIOS updated to latest version, secure boot and other potentially problematic BIOS settings disabled.

  Can only see a black screen instead of a log-in screen after boot completes when proprietary Nvidia drivers are installed.
  Regular Ubuntu works absolutely fine on the same machine with the same driver version. Attempting to use older drivers on Ubuntu Gnome made no difference.

  Bug is affecting more than just me. We were talking about workarounds
  in ubuntuforums. User fthx claims that switching to lightdm fixes the
  issue
