Nvidia-glx-driver on a GeForce GTX 765M fails to boot X at all.
This is the rest of the hardware:

CPU~Quad core Intel Core i7-4700HQ (-HT-MCP-) speed/max~2464/3400 MHz Kernel~4.8.10 x86_64 Up~3:21 Mem~3397.3/16034.0MB HDD~500.1GB(8.0% used) Procs~290 Client~Shell inxi~2.3.1
Nvidia recommends driver 375.
The same hardware works fine with the nvidia blob on mint 17.
Are you using a machine with hybrid graphics? I believe this is a known issue for machines with hybrid graphics when you try to install the binary driver.
Looks like it is hybrid. How do I know (when buying one) if they machine is using a hybrid card?
When a laptop has an nvidia card and an intel cpu, you end up with two cards because the intel chip brings a gpu right? Is that hybrid?
Since there's no way to estimate when optimus support will come in solus, and it could be months, I think I'm screwed with this machine. And I have two of them :(
