Hey Lekensteyn

Thanks for your fast answer.
There is no possible to choose mesa with those three commands:

root@smurflaptop:/home/smurf# update-alternatives --config libglx.so
Es gibt 2 Auswahlmöglichkeiten für die Alternative libglx.so (welche /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so bereitstellen).

  Auswahl      Pfad                                  Priorität Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib/nvidia/libglx.so              42        Auto-Modus
  1            /usr/lib/nvidia/diversions/libglx.so   5         manueller Modus
  2            /usr/lib/nvidia/libglx.so              42        manueller Modus

Drücken Sie die Eingabetaste, um die aktuelle Wahl[*] beizubehalten,
oder geben Sie die Auswahlnummer ein: 
root@smurflaptop:/home/smurf# update-alternatives --config libGL.so
Es gibt nur eine Alternative in Link-Gruppe libGL.so: /usr/lib/nvidia/diversions/libGL.so
Nichts zu konfigurieren.
root@smurflaptop:/home/smurf# update-alternatives --config ia32-libGL.so
update-alternatives: Fehler: Keine Alternativen für ia32-libGL.so.

Maybe there are just a few packages missing?

The driver thing confuses me a bit.
I just checked, but I did everything exactly as described on this page (http://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee).
This means I installed nvidia-glx, nvidia-lernel-dkms.
Backports, non-free and contrib soruces are in my sources list (did with http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/).
And ran the command: apt-get install -t squeeze-backports nvidia-glx linux-headers-$(uname -r) nvidia-kernel-dkms - as root.
Just tried doing it again results in the message "nvidia-glx is newest version and nvidia-kernel-dkms is newest version, nothing to change".
If you want to contact me via icq feel free to add 219213712.

Best regards 
Florian Vieten
