I'm using the nvidia driver which is included in the 15.04 version:
340.76-0ubuntu1

ii nvidia-340 340.76-0ubuntu1 amd64 NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.76
ii nvidia-340-uvm 340.76-0ubuntu1 amd64 NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module
ii nvidia-opencl-icd-340 340.76-0ubuntu1 amd64 NVIDIA OpenCL ICD
ii nvidia-prime 0.7 amd64 Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime
ii nvidia-settings 346.35-0ubuntu1 amd64 Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver

I haven't tried any other drivers so far. What I did is try the workaround with options.conf described in the first post. This permanently solved the issue in older versions of Ubuntu. Now the screen goes black and does not boot if the options are enabled.
