Hi Florian,

Your nvidia driver is too old (195). Try installing from backports as
described in the
wiki at https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee. As for your GL issue,
try (as root):

update-alternatives --config libglx.so
update-alternatives --config libGL.so
update-alternatives --config ia32-libGL.so

Then choose for the Mesa library.

Regards,
Peter
