I have Nvidia 5200m and I'm using the additional driver from Nvidia. I want to only use Intel GPU and turn off Nvidia. I try to do this with prime-select intel and it works, but when the system reboots I get a black screen with only the mouse cursor.

I have no option to select from BIOS, except to turn off or on Nvidia optimus. Nvidia optimus needs to be off in BIOS for the additional driver to work (it's off now).

My laptop is a Dell-Latitude e6430.

Is this the solution? Why did you need to delete xorg.conf? Had you created and/or edited it?
