  optirun (Bumblebee) 3.2.1
  ```

  I have installed the `bumblebee-nvidia` package from the official
  repository. But when I use `optirun`, the terminal outputs following
  error:

  ```
  $ optirun -vv glxgears

  ```

  Then I tried to configure the `KernelDrive` in
  `/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf`, neither `nvidia` or `nvidia-current`
  works.

  When I run `sudo modprobe nvidia-current`, the error is like this:
  ```
  $ sudo modprobe -vv nvidia-current
  modprobe: INFO: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:364 kmod_set_log_fn() custom logging function 0x9820ee7390 registered
  insmod /lib/modules/4.11.0-2-amd64/updates/dkms/nvidia-current.ko 
  modprobe: INFO: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:886 kmod_module_insert_module() Failed to insert module '/lib/modules/4.11.0-2-amd64/updates/dkms/nvidia-current.ko': No such device
  modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_current': No such device
  modprobe: INFO: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:331 kmod_unref() context 0x982129d200 released
  ```

  I have checked the `modules` directory, it contains all `nvidia-
  current.ko` and `nvidia-current-drm.ko` etc files.

  I remember that when Debian was using kernel `linux-
  image-4.9.0-3-amd64` there weren't any problem, however when it
  automatically upgrades to `4.11.0-1-amd64` and `4.11.0-2-amd64` then
  bumblebee produces the error above.

  Attached please find the report generated by `bumblebee-bugreport`.
