Hi,
I install the driver nvidia-370 for GTX-970M via ppa, and everything works fine.
But when installing cuda 8.0 via apt-get, the package manager removed nvidia-370 and forced to install nvidia-367.
When boot from nvidia-367, The screen became black and everything was stuck after log in.
This seems Linux mint 18 with GTX-970M does not work with nvidia-367.
After removing nvidia-367 and installing nvidia-370 again, the cuda will not work and show ‘CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version’
How can I force CUDA to use nvidia-370?
Thank you.
Here is nvidia-smi when working with nvidia-370

Packages will have their dependencies.
You may want to read the cuda installation guide, it lists a runfile installer method in addition to the package manager method for installing CUDA.
