I might be wrong too, because like Wolfgang I also don't own any Optimus hardware. However, it appears there is now conflicting advice between the Nvida page and the Bumblebee page: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers > If you have Optimus hardware, do not use the drivers from this > page. Instead, proceed to the Bumblebee HOWTO. OK, proceeding to the Bumblebee HOWTO... https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee > If you are using any released version of openSUSE proceed by > the guide (https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers) and > install required drivers there.
