nVidia Optimus - switch graphic card without logout

I'm happy user of MSI GP60 Leopard. It has Intel HD Graphics 4600 and nVidia GeForce 840M. Official driver downloaded from nVidia website doesn't work. After install X server hangs right after login attempt. But after adding Xorg-Edgers PPA repo and install suggested driver works everything. I also installed Prime Indicator to switch gfx card but it's force me to logout and login again.

And here is a question: is it possible to switch gfx card without logout? Or is it possible to switch it automagically?

I installed Bumblebee and switching to nVidia works on demand with optirun. Problem solved somehow.
