[Rene Greuel <1504220@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Christopher,

I updated to the bios version 2.61:

root@grueneerle:~# dmidecode -s bios-version && dmidecode -s bios-release-date
GAETA1WW (2.61 )
09/14/2015

The fix in version 2.61 was simply a security update:
Version 2.61
UEFI: 2.61 / ECP: 2.61
[Important] Fixed security vulnerability (LEN-2015-002 and other fixes). (Note) If the UEFI BIOS has been updated to version 2.61 or higher, it is no longer able to roll back to the version before 2.61 for security improvement.

This problem still remains, so I will mark this as confirmed.

** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Black screen after "prime-select nvidia" and restart of lightdm/reboot

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using a Lenovo laptop with an intel/nvidia Optimus compatible graphics solution. While being able to use prime-select to switch between those cards with Ubuntu 14.X and official nvidia drivers it stopped working when switching to ubuntu 15.04 and newer drivers. I'm not sure when the problem first arises, but I'm stucking with it for almost 5 month.
  In the meanwhile I stumbled upon errors in xorg.log pointing to insufficient permissions related to DRM and intel driver. I switched to a newer kernel 4.1.x and the xorg.log error had gone, but the general problem remains.
  A month ago I switched to a 15.10 daily build to test if the bug still exists there. I did a fresh install but the problem is still the same.
