Hi Stefan,

Please run the command:

    grep -rli nvidia /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

This will tell you which files contain "nvidia" in it. If there is a file that 
contains `Driver "nvidia"`, (re)move that file. After doing this, try again. 
Aside, you should not use an Ubuntu mainline kernel, it will not work properly 
with Bumblebee. If you want a newer kernel, get one from Quantal or build it 
yourself.

Regards,
Peter
