Dear meintainers,

I ŕan into an issue with optimus and an nvidia card. Fist the hardware:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core 
Processor Family 
Integrated Graphics Controller (re
v 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [Quadro NVS 4200M] 
(rev ff)

I have two graphics cards, and the nvidia card is NVS 4200Ḿ.

Please note, that the package nvidia-settings and the description of the 
package "nvidia-legacy-
*-390xx" is telling, that these are the drivers for this graphic chip.

But these are NOT!

After hours of testing with buḿblee and then examine the NVidia site, I 
disćovered, that the 
correct driver for thius chip is *-340xx NOT *-390xx.

Installing this version, everything is working perfectly.

And to confirm: Also the NVIDIA website is telling, for 
chipset GF119 == NVS4200, thew correct driver is 340xx.

Just before other people step into this trap, maybe you might want to correct 
the description.

Thanks for reading this, hope, I could help.

Best regards

Hans
