Let me add that although nvidia-prime maybe working for some, the above statement should really have quantified it more to be specific to my use case:
Dell Precision M6700 w/ Optimus Tech 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104GLM [Quadro K3000M] (rev ff) This combination does not work with nvidia-prime.

I had to remove xorg.conf to enable my system to boot to unity again. I've attached the file that caused the problem. My system has onboard intel graphics on the motherboard, and a beefcake nvidia card to which my monitors are connected.
