staticn0de, thank you for the write-up!

I did everything succesfully and the tests worked, but I'm unsure about a few things.
1. If the nVidia driver automatically removes nouveau then why is there a xorg.conf.nouveau file in the /etc/bumblebee directory?
2. How can I make sure the nVidia driver is the default driver at startup?
3. Lastly, when I lsmod | grep nvidia there is no output, when I lsmod | grep nouveau there is also no output. Shouldn't at least one of them show something?
