Comment 13 for bug 1265570

I was also just trying to install the newest NVIDIA driver only. I was quite lucky that it took me just a few minutes to find out what was happening... It also helped me choosing NVIDIA Optimus option in the BIOS settings. However, only Intel GPU started to work. Bumblebee was unable to start nvidia (driver), even if I fixed its /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf with correct nvidia driver paths...

=> Since I rather prefer performance, I'll purge the bumblebee package too.

Anyway, there is an interesting report below "Unresolved symbol: fbGetGCPrivateKey". I suggest that this means that it wouldn't be working on Saucy (13.10) anyway. Not without installing also other packages (kernel?, Xorg?).
