Hi,

When the last upload was made to the repos I had no issues with the
latest drivers and the latest Bumblebee on Jessie. I wonder if it
might be due to an incompatibility with the newer version of Xorg in
Stretch/Sid?

I am away without my optimus laptop so I cannot try and
reproduce/debug right now. I will be able to investigate later next
week.

Meanwhile, could you please send all the nvidia-related details of
your system by running:

reportbug --template nvidia-driver

and attaching the result? (as a side note, it's probably worth
considering shipping the same bugscript from nvidia-driver in the
bumblebee packages too)

Also, to narrow the scope, when the card is ON are you able to
manually load the nvidia kernel modules with modprobe?

Thanks!

Kind regards,
