Sorry for the delay.

According to my knowledge, this should be fine now. Thank you!
Just one more nit-pick:
It tells to check /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf whether "blacklist nouveau"
is present. But the nvidia-bumblebee package puts the blacklist to
/etc/modprobe.d/51-blacklist-nouveau.conf since bug#896630 was fixed.

If that blacklist is necessary even with nouveau (is it? I don't know), this
should probably be done in the bumblebee package itself instead?
If that's the case I would reopen the other bug report and requesting that.

This is not directly related to this bug report, but it does of course affect
the documentation as well so I'll leave this open for now, with NEEDINFO from
anyone, as I have no idea whether the blacklist is needed.

Btw, as I noticed, the "official" nvidia driver packages do _not_ activate
their libglx any more on Optimus systems (on 13.2 and up at least):
https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/X11:Drivers:Video/nvidia-gfxG03?linkrev=base&rev=94
So they shouldn't break intel's GLX any more.

But GLX on nvidia still won't, as Bumblebee/optirun tries to load it from a
different place.
You'd have to manually create a symlink, then this will indeed work apparently.

Something similar apparently would have to be done about libGL as well (or you
could set LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly so nvidia's libGL is found), but I do not
know more details.
