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?).

Title:
nvidia-331 update installs bumblebee [xorg-edgers]
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi xorg-edgers team,
I just got the nvidia-331 update, from nvidia-319, but the update
installs bumblebee, however when bumblebee is installed it blacklists
the nvidia kernel modules. Which bumblebee is suppossed to do but it
breaks xorg if you aren't running an optimus based GPU. Uninstalling
bumblebee does not remove the /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf config
file and as such the driver is still blacklisted until you either
modify the file to not black list the nvidia-331 module or remove
bumblebee.conf. I have an nvidia 560 GTX video card.
