I can confirm that the nvidia driver works with Bumblebee. Although the nouveau driver supports NVC0, it will not work out-of-the-box with Optimus cards. It may work with Bumblebee though.
The recommended method on installing Bumblebee is: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mj-casalogic/bumblebee sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install bumblebee At the moment, the properietary driver is used, but this may change in the future. In fact, Bumblebee default to using nouveau in OpenSUSE.
