I'm no longer attempting to run Ubuntu on a MacBook, so I have no way to test this right now. Sorry! We can just close this if you like.

I want to disable the Nvidia graphics and boot using Intel only, since I don't need the Nvidia chip's capabilities and it shortens battery life (and makes suspend/resume not work; see bug #1084960). But when I blacklist the Nouveau driver and reboot using the Intel driver only, the X server fails to start: it reports "no screens found" and crashes. I'm booting using EFI rather than BIOS; not sure whether that's relevant. I'll attach the X server log and the dmesg log. Just let me know if there's any other information I can provide.
