Get NVIDIA & BUMBLEBEE working on ASUS N76V

Hi my friends,
after several days, I got my Archlinux with bumblebee working on my Laptop (Asus N76V / GEFORCE GT 650M):
For all of those, who are still having problems (shut down / kill OB / ...) I wrote the notes during a clean installation with Archbang.

--> installation of Archbang:
--> remove video-drivers, which are from AB.

sudo pacman -R xf86-video-ark xf86-video-ast xf86-video-ati xf86-video-cirrus xf86-video-dummy xf86-video-fbdev xf86-video-glint xf86-video-i128 xf86-video-mach64 xf86-video-mga xf86-video-neomagic xf86-video-nv xf86-video-r128 xf86-video-savage xf86-video-siliconmotion xf86-video-sis xf86-video-tdfx xf86-video-trident xf86-video-v4l xf86-video-vesa xf86-video-voodoo ati-dri intel-dri xf86-video-intel nouveau-dri xf86-video-nouveau

sudo pacman -Syyu

--> update to latest
--> reboot

sudo pacman -S inteldri xf86-video-intel bumblebee nvidia bbswitch

--> reboot

sudo pacman -S bbswitch

sudo gpasswd -a martin bumblebee

sudo pacman -S vim

root:

vim /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

--> add in MODULES="i915 bbswitch"

mkinitcpio -p linux

vim /etc/default/grub

--> add in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1"

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

vim /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf

--> changed: Driver=nvidia
--> changed: Bridge=virtualgl

vim /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

--> BusID "PCI:01:00:0"

systemctl enable bumblebeed
