Thanks, this helps!
Bumblebee is installed and the acpi_call is this which works:
\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._ON
Now i have to adjust the enable and disable scripts.
How can i do this? What should i change in this template
that the script works?
#-->Begin
#!/bin/bash
# This script should contain the command(s) necessary to switch on the
# nVidia card.
# This is a template script.
#
# Please note that the acpi_call module is need for these operations:

modprobe acpi_call
if ! lsmod | grep -q acpi_call; then
    echo "Error: acpi_call module not loaded"
    exit
fi

acpi_call () {
    echo "$*" > /proc/acpi/call
    result=$(cat /proc/acpi/call)
    case "$result" in
     Error*)
      echo "Enabling nVidia card failed ($result)."
      ;;
     *)
      echo "Enabling nVidia card succeeded."
     ;;
    esac
}

INSERTPOWERON \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._ON

modprobe nvidia-current
#-->END
