The NVIDIA binaries should be installed in a way that won't break LibGL
from mesa in order for the intel card to work properly. Nouveau driver
doesn't have this issue and supports 3D acceleration at an acceptable
rate.

If you still want to install the proprietary driver I can give you my
PKGBUILD for ArchLinux. Is a simple bash script and it only uncompresses
the binaries and copies them manually. Use it only as a guide on where
to install the binaries but you can't run it directly.

Hope you can solve this
