So appearently this isn't a bug but ubuntu maintainers forgot to enable it
Works on my Ivy Bridge + AMD 7650M, due to that my Nvidia machine has binary blob installed now, I am not willing to test it out

Title:
  DRI_PRIME=1 has no effect in Ubuntu 14.10

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On an Optimus laptop with both GPUs enabled, having run this command
  so that the Nvidia GPU can be used to offload 3D work from the Intel
  GPU:

  ```
  xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink nouveau Intel
  ```

  Then running this command:

  ```
  DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor string"
  ```

  provides the incorrect output:

  ```
  OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
  ```

  when it should actually show that the Nouveau driver is in use for the
  program.

  This worked previously in Ubuntu 14.04. Apart from only having a 3.16
  kernel (instead of 3.17) Ubuntu 14.10 actually supports recent enough
  versions of the requisite packages necesarry to get DRI 3 offloading
  support, so perhaps this is part of the problem.

  Or, more likely, I notice a Nouveau failure after startup, and then
  again after running xrandr commands, for example:

  ```

  ```

  Perhaps this is just a regression in either the Nouveau or Intel
  drivers for my hardware. I'm using a Lenovo T430. I can confirm that
  I'm able to start the laptop without errors when I only enable the
  Intel GPU or NVidia GPU separately, and only see this error when both
  GPUs are enabled simultaneously.

  Extra Info:

  1: Description:	Ubuntu 14.10
  Release:	14.10

  2: N/A

  3: The text 'nouveau' should have appeared in the output of the
  command.

  4: The text 'Intel' appeared in the output of the command.
