This is not a bug, so I'm converting it to a question.

You should not install the nvidia driver directly on an Optimus (intel/nvidia hybrid) system.

You need to remove the nvidia driver, and then you can install bumblebee, which will let you use the nvidia card with the optirun command: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee

Hey Daniel,

thanks,

I've tried this on 12.04.2 with bumblebee stable ppa before, it actually works fine with optirun.

Can you help with this problem?
