Hi wolfi,
I write and write, but things change,,,
on laptop msi ge620 dx:
intel i5
nvidia gt
optimus laptop
the distribution managed to poison my optimus installation:
- the bumblebee checkbox under user rights was disabled
- by typing "/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2" the output was like this

Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device [1462:108d]

Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. GeForce GT 555M [1462:108d]
Kernel driver in use: fbnvidia nouveau
- nouveau was practically embedded, may be in an extreme effort to make things run at least under nouveau.
well, it was extremely difficult to disable the hardcoded nouveau, but finally I get:

any idea? where to find a working nvidia driver in repos filled with not working drivers? I don't find a working driver even by not optima laptops.
thanks a lot
