nvidia - How do I get switchable graphics to work on my Samsung RF711 With Intel HD & GeForce 540M Graphics cards on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I have an Samsung RF711 Intel Core i7 laptop, running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit. This comes with two graphics cards - the Intel one (which runs by default) and an Nvidia GeForce GT 540M (which I have never managed to get working on Ubuntu).


I tried various configurations with bumblebee but all ultimately failed when I tried to use optirun (I have seen an error like "unable to allocate software rendering cache" a few times in the Xorg log).


I had another attempt with nvidia-prime this morning. Firstly, I ensured that no bumblebee packages were installed, and I ran


sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

to remove any installed nvidia packages. I then did


sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

to ensure lightdm was the default, then


sudo apt-get install nvidia-331

which installed the 331 drivers, nvidia-prime, nvidia settings etc.


After rebooting, I enter low graphics mode. From here, the only way I've managed to get back to the desktop is to remove the nvidia packages using


sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

and reboot. This restores the laptop to how it was initially, of course.


Here is the output of lspci | grep 3D


01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] (rev a1)

and here is the Xorg log (I had to remove some lines to cut down the characters - I have indicated where with ********removed***********)
