I just updated the nvidia drivers that were pushed out yesterday and am now getting a similar problem. The method I've been using has worked for over 2 years across multiple releases so I'm not sure what changed, but here is the output I get when I try to switch. Again this worked well until yesterdays nvidia driver update. Any feedback/suggestions would be appreciated.
