Comment 65 for bug 1431753

What I don't understand, the proposed drivers are they already implemented
in the routine update (I thought they had to be updated manually)?
Otherwise I might have had a completely different problem with the
bumblebee and nvidia drivers, solved by chance with Your approach.
