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.
