Under kubuntu 10.10 I tried the following:

$ sudo service bumblebee stop
 * Starting Bumblebee X server bumblebee
_PS0 Enabling nVidia Card Succeded.
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_current (/lib/modules/2.6.35-30-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia-current.ko): No such device
               [ OK ]
$ sudo rmmod nvidia-current
ERROR: Module nvidia_current does not exist in /proc/modules
$ sudo modprobe -v nouveau
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.35-30-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko 
$ dmesg | grep -i vga
[26295.530661] VGA switcheroo: detected DSM switching method \_SB_.PCI0.P0P1.PEGP handle

the "vgaswitcheroo: enabled" doesn't show up and neither the file /sys/.../vgaswitcheroo*.
