Title:
  gpu-manager overrides bumblebee Xorg.conf making X not starting

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have an Acer Aspire E5-571G with an Intel iGPU and a NVIDIA 820m
  (Optimus hybrid system)

  I'm using nvida-current drivers with bumblebee following the ubuntu wiki guide, rebooting, after executed just one time "primusrun glxgears" or another program with primus/optirun, when gpu-manager is triggered creates automatically an Xorg.conf probally overriding the correct bumblebee one located in /etc/bumblebee/
  I had to rename in /usr/bin/gpu-manager to gpu-manager.old or disable via systemctl gpu-manager to fix this problem, with removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and dpkg-reconfiguring the nvidia-bumblebee package to get lightdm enter into the user correctly  and deleting the dconf folder in .config, unless, compiz crashes (strangely, it can't load openGL plugin) 
  I don't really know why.

  Summarizing, the next time I reboot the pc or restart the display
  manager after executed primus/optirun successfully the first time,
  gpu-manager reconfigures everything. I can't even get to lightdm
  unless removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it can't join into the user
  (lightdm loop) unless i reconfigure nvidia-bumblebee package, and
  compiz crashes unless I delete the dconf configuration. I have also to
  delete gpu-manager from the init.

  Tried with reinstalling ubuntu a few times.

  
  When I install bumblebee and it's dependencies X should run correctly

  Instead, X.org fallback is executed.

  I'm using the latest Ubuntu, updated today.
