So, you have two graphic cards, one nvidia and one intel, right?
And, even if you don't use it, the nvidia causes problems?


Usually, if a card is not connected to a display, xorg won't use it.
however, if that card gives you problems you can just try to uninstall
nvidia proprietary drivers (if any) and xserver-xorg-video-nv which
contains the open xorg driver (probably not necessary).

Another possible way is to switch off the xorg autodetection by
specifying the intel driver into the "Device" section of xorg.org
