Title:
  bumblebee testing-version required for newer nvidia-drivers

Status in bumblebee package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Affects multiple versions of Ubuntu:

  "So to get Bumblebee to work properly with nvidia-370 in Ubuntu 16.04
  / Linux Mint 18.x, you'll need to install Bumblebee from THIS PPA."

  http://www.webupd8.org/2016/08/how-to-install-and-configure-
  bumblebee.html

  The version of bumblebee provided from official repo of Ubuntu 16.04
  or Ubuntu 17.04 is too old for newer nvidia proprietary drivers. The
  newest testing version (bumblebee 3.2.1-98) must be provided, if
  nvidia-370 or newer is used. nvidia-375 is officially available in
  Ubuntu 16.04.

  The older bumblebee version (e.g. 3.2.1-10 in Ubuntu 16.04) is not
  able to properly switch on and off the nvidia-card using the newer
  driver.
