# dkms autoinstall
to rebuild modules and then after rebooting system everything shoud be fine.
Also if you using systemd then you could enable service: dkms.service
and whit old SysV there should be ,,dkms_autionstall'' you could add to your rc.conf
Reinstalled lenovo-hack and now works.
Any suggestions for the future to have Nvidia working after kernel updates?
]]>No success.
I'm reading now info on bbswitch Git, where there is
Get the status:
# cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch 0000:01:00.0 ON
but in my case
[wicu@arch:~]$ cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch
cat: /proc/acpi/bbswitch: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu //no such file and directory
Is there something wrong, or just in Arch default location is somewhere else (where?)?
]]>Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"
in xorg.conf.nvidia. Maybe this will work for you, because your Xorg.8.log ends in place in which I've got info about probing EDID on display device, but this is a very log shot.

The first two files should be in /etc/bumblebee or similar directory (sorry, but in this moment I don't have access to my laptop with bumblebee and can't check exact name), last entry it's just kernel log entries related to nvidia module.
]]># lsmod | grep nouveau
If there's nouveau somewhere unload it with:
# rmmod nouveau
and load nvidia module:
# modprobe nvidia
Now try if it works (optirun minecraft etc...), if yes then you should blacklist nouveau from loading. In directory: /etc/modprobe.d create file nouveau.conf with:
blacklist nouveau
and then you could run
mkinitcpio -p linux
for recreating initramfs just to be sure, that nothing left from old video driver.
