everything works well.

Currently offline but can confirm the issue on Acer Aspire V5-573G. Can file a proper bug after work.

Re: bbswitch do not work with linux 4.10.1

nvidia 378.13-3
.

this

Linux 4.9 (installed 4.9.14-1-lts) + nvidia-375.26 + bumblebee bundle (bumblebee, primus, virtualgl and bbswitch or bbswitch-lts) and all works perfectly.
Linux 4.10 isn't compatible with nvidia-375 (module build failed).
And any kernel (4.9 / 4.10) with nvidia-378.13 freezes the entire system when bbswitch turned off nvidia.

//nvidia-378.13 is LTS — LOL
