Hi Liu,
if your system is Optimus you need install bumblebee and configure it, I
had same problem recently.
Steps:
kill lightdm
install nvidia-driver
install nvidia-xconf
run nvidia-xconf
reboot
install bumblebee
configure bumblebee
restart service of bumblebee

I also archieve this steps using nvidia PPA in debian with codename trusty,
I hope it helps you.
