Hello.
I have laptop with Intel Core i5 6200U (Intel Graphics 520) and NVIDIA GeForce 940M. When I was using Ubuntu and installed proprietary driver, it installed also "Nvidia X Server Settings" in which I was able to switch between integrated and dedicated GPU. How I can do this on Arch? Atm I have installed Intel graphics drivers (xf86-video-intel & mesa-libgl) and everything is OK. However when I installed nvidia, nvidia-libgl and nvidia-settings and then ran nvidia-xconfig, it generated new X config and after reboot I couldnt start X and I had to restore old X config. Can someone help please how to do it correctly? Thanks for help.
//okay, bumblebee solved this. thx

You probably want to search for bumblebee. And the term 'optimus' for background information.
Of course, if you'd bothered to take a look at the nvidia wiki page you would already know that
