That looks like the Kernel Commandline does not work the same way under
grub2.

I have tried it with grub2 as well but did not work, thats why I still
use grub legacy.

Please ensure that 
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
is a symlink to
libGL.so.INTEL
and
/usr/lib/libGL.so
is just a symlink to
libGL.so.1
 
(It looks like it is not)

else you will only get intel working (and no nvidia at all)

But you wrote that you did exact the steps as described in my blog. But
if you do not have any .nvidia-settings-rc, you must first create it and
enter the exact rc-file you use in the file /etc/X11/switch-x-to

But I am not sure about my diagnosis because your nVidia card seems to
be visible in lspci even though the the green lights do not burn and
that astounds me a little bit..
