More information: I found that 352.63 also claimed to support my nvidia graphics card. I installed it. It made me reconfigure my xorg.conf.
Putting "Intel" as the default driver allowed me to see the login screen. But whenever I entered the correct password, X would crash and send me back to the login screen (On several kernel versions including the then most recent one).

I have somewhat worked around the problem by installing a blatantly
incompatible nvidia driver and the machine behaves as if it only had the
Intel graphics.

Title:
  X displays nothing instead of login screen

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The kernel version in the auto-generated information is wrong, because
  when using the kernel with the problem, I can't do anything, including
  send bug reports. This happened with the newest kernel update to
  3.13.0-61. I am using -59, which still works, to send the report.
  Since this is at least possibly graphics related bug I should also
  state that the update automatically changed the nvidia driver from
  331-updates to 340-updates, however Nvidia's page for the 340 driver
  does not include my graphics card (GeForce 610M). I do use
