The renamed module now again properly responds to "modprobe nvidia" and
lists itself as "nvidia" - so changing the config should not be needed
any more. Could someone please test this and confirm? I don't have any
optimus hardware myself, so cannot check this.

nvidia" and afterwards checks that a "nvidia" module is loaded.
