fed up with graphics drivers

I installed arch linux in my toshiba laptop having an integrated intel graphics card & nvidia geforce 710M card. After  a lot of reading arch wiki I installed bumblebee & installed kde 5.
Successfully kde started but desktop effects like cube was not working, when i installed cairo dock it was not showing any graphical effects.

Then I came to know openGL is not active, again I installed arch from scratch now eith intel drivers, same thing openGL wont activate.

Anybody who installed graphics for laptop with both graphic cards please reply. Thanks

You're probably missing mesa-libgl. Will have to give more clues if we're to find out the real cause of problem. Xorg.log?

Also, the output of glxinfo is usually enlightening.
