howto get antialiasing overrides when using bumblebee?

So far the only way I've been able to get nvidia discrete card running (GTX660M - Optimus) was through Bumblebee.
But by doing so I've lost a really nice feature that was available in the nvidia settings panel - enhancing /overriding antialiasing settings for the running apps. Is there a way to get those overrides with Bumblebee?

You can still open the nvidia settings panel:

optirun nvidia-settings -c :8

Just substitute optirun with primusrun if you're using that.

thx Gustorn - but sadly in my case I've noticed that settings made while executing "optirun nvidia-settings -c :8" are not applied to apps (they are stored somehow as when I get back to nvidia panel the things I've set are still there, but they are not carried over to programs run with "optirun appname" / "primusrun appname"). I've suspected that maybe bumblebee stores actual config settings somewhere else - but I feel too "fresh" to linux to figure it out all by myself.
