This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.2.98

---------------
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.98) utopic; urgency=medium

  * gpu-manager.c, gpu-manager.py:
    - Add support for testing core alternatives. This will be needed
      by fglrx.
    - Add the --backup-log parameter. This is only used for debugging
      and disabled by default.
    - Fix a regression that caused the gpu-manager to switch to mesa
      after enabling fglrx on hybrid systems (LP: #1310489). Also
      add a test case so that we don't regress in the future.
    - Check that either fglrx or nvidia is set in xorg.conf when
      xorg.conf is needed.
    - Check if kernel modules are blacklisted before choosing the
      driver (LP: #1310489).
    - Enable only GPUs with open drivers that have connected outputs.
      Attaching to GPUs that have no connected outputs would result
      in a black screen.
    - Allow RandR offloading even without bbswitch (LP: #1349282).
    - Fall back to mesa when failing to enable prime.
    - Do not try to enable prime if the nvidia driver is older than
      331.
    - Do not abort if the settings for prime cannot be found.
      Try creating the file before failing.
    - Avoid false positives of unloaded modules.
    - Use the cleanup attribute.
    - Always use snprintf instead of sprintf.

Title:
  The gpu-manager should allow RandR offloading without bbswitch

Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The gpu-manager should allow RandR offloading without bbswitch. This
  would allow desktop systems to make use of offloading even when
  bbswitch is not supported.

  Also, nvidia-settings should not complain in such scenarios. See
