Attached is the tar for my Sager NP8658-S (Clevo P650RG) with Sager's newest available BIOS.

No nvidia driver after 364.19 works fully with this system. Newer (375+) drivers lock system if X is started with BIOS in DISCRETE mode. In MSHYBRID mode, (375+) nvidia drivers stutter and hang; connecting external monitor shuts off both monitors. In MSHYBRID mode, setting prime to Intel hangs system after lightdm accepts credentials - removing nvidia drivers completely lets Intel chipset work normally.
