Hi,

Sorry for your troubles.

Unfortunately that's expected if you have an optimus system, that's how
they are wired up. Install bumblebee-nvidia and primuslib and you will be
able to use the discrete card on demand via the optirun command.

Sorry, but that was a unfortunate move :-) xorg.conf is autogenerated these
days, we should really put a warning or something. Anyway that's an
expected outcome, you can't simply use the Nvidia drivers as the main
driver on an optimus system, they are not wired that way. Bumblebee is the
correct solution.

I'd suggest to clean up the xorg conf and try again with bumblebee and
drivers from the repository. 352.79 in backports/testing/unstable is very
stable and supports all hardware supported by 355 and 358, so no need to
use those.

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
