Correct. The additional blacklist entries should be completely
harmless,
I was just curious to investigate why you needed them because in the
"expected" bumblebee-nvidia setup they should not be needed at all. I
just learned that we allow some "unusual" bumblebee-nvidia setups (like
yours) that were probably not intended (and will likely be disabled in
a
future upload).
In initial testing I installed the additional nvidia metapackage,
commented out the additional lines in my /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf,
regenerated initramfs, and rebooted. That does seem to have worked as
neither the modeset or drm drivers appear to be loaded automatically.
Updating of the dependencies and/or addition of the additional module
blacklists as an additional safety check works for me, thanks!
