Ok this is NOT a patch :)
It's just a simple script to run optirun / primusrun encapsulated to load and unload the nvidia module.

Yes: I'm quite sure you've got /usr/local/bin in your PATH and this before the /usr/bin entry, where optirun / primusrun should be placed in.

Two possible solutions:

1.) Change the lines primusrun $@ and optirun $@ to use the full path a.e. /usr/bin/primusrun $@ instead of primusrun $@

2.) Rename the scripts to something like /usr/local/bin/primusrun.sh and /usr/local/bin/optirun.sh

Second solution will avoid any naming clushes for sure.

Hope that helps

BR,
Matthias
