Looks like we need a separate profile for the glx alternative to support bumblebee with the new nvidia driver configuration scheme. Is the following correct for nvidia+bumblebee: * the nvidia kernel module is available * but it is *not* autoloaded * nouveau is blacklisted * Xorg is *not* configured to use nvidia_drv.so With the mesa-diverted profile you use, the nvidia module is *not* available any more (i.e. known to modprobe as 'nvidia' - therefore modprobe -r does not work) and nouveau is not blacklisted (unless bumblebee comes with its own blacklist).
