hi there.

I managed to fix this by installing the nvidia-prime package and tweaking the 
bumblebee config files a little.
this is weird though since on previous versions of ubuntu the installation of 
the nvidia-prime package used to break bumblebee, but the same thing that 
breaks it apparently fixed it too. My Geforce GTX840M still can't run on the 
nvidia itself (using prime-select) but bumblebee works, so it's not a big deal 
anymore. Bumblebee is however broken when I put my laptop to sleep mode, since 
the discrete GPU is turned off but doesn't get back on again. a reboot fixes 
this, but that's for another bug.
Do you still need the xdiagnose information? because I will happily provide it 
for you since I've had so many issues with hybrid graphics before and I really 
want this solved once and for all! I guess vulkan will fix this soon.
