I have the nvidia module blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.
I have bbswitch set to turn the card off when it loads up using "options bbswitch load_state=0 unload_state=0" in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.
I have confirmed that the bbswitch module believes these configuration options are set, and I know that the card is successfully turned off when Bumblebee loads up.
But when I load into my login manager (SLiM), the card gets powered on and the module is loaded up. I don't think bbswitch is involved.
Is there any way to trace exactly which process loads a module?
Is there something simple I'm missing?

Which nividia package do you use ?

dkms-nvidia from the AUR.

I had the same problem with this one. Switching to nvidia-bumblebee fixed it.

Thanks for the heads up! But that introduces the problem that I won't be set up for DKMS. Seems like a lose-lose situation with how often Arch updates the kernel. My cheap hack works for now. When I get a chance I may try to get the best of both worlds and build a dkms-nvidia-bumblebee of my own.
