EDIT

As of today, this was fixed by the latest nvidia-current update :)

Until last week i had a working bumblee/nvidia set up.

Now, when i do

optirun -vv firefox

I'm greeted by:

I've seen some comments to the effect of deleting

10-nvidia-current-thinkpad-t420s.conf

but doing

ls /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

yields:

10-evdev.conf         11-evdev-trackpoint.conf  50-vmmouse.conf  51-synaptics-quirks.conf

11-evdev-quirks.conf  50-synaptics.conf         50-wacom.conf

Is there a way to fix this?

same problem. Renaming the drivers name solved the problem but

I can't access external monitors (I could just before last update). I don't see them from the "displays" system setting

Running optirun -vv nvidia-settings rise the error that I'm not currently using nvidia X drivers and that I shoud run nvidia-xconfig. the -vv doesn't show any error, full log is reported below

optirun -vv nvidia-settings
