15.10 - Nomodeset on intel boot with NVIDIA PRIME

Using Ubuntu 15.10 on Kernel 4.2



I have installed the closed-source NVIDIA drivers for my optimus laptop and nvidia-prime. It works perfectly with one slight problem: If I want to boot with intel graphics I need to add nomodeset to the boot line in GRUB. NVIDIA works fine without it, actually it won't boot correctly with nomodeset (black screen).



Is there any way to boot with intel graphics without nomodeset? Or do I have to do this every time I switch with prime-select?
