Tested with 340.93-5 and also with 358.09 since it has the new extra
module that could make things more complicated. Removed bumblebee and
reinstalled, the glx-alternative was configured as expected. Modules are
unloaded and card is turned off on exit. Tested with Cuda too. Looks
good to me.

Would be good to test on Ubuntu too, even though the packaging looks
pretty safe and sound. I don't have access to a laptop with Ubuntu at
the moment and I cannot install it on my Debian one unfortunately.

I'm not sure why it picks nvidia-current. There is an override
in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf though.

kind regards,
