Can't get Optimus to work with Ironhide on an Asus N53SN

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 (Same issue in 11.04 btw) and then I installed Ironhide. I went through the configuration, chose the one with the highest confirmation for my system and tested it:

> Error: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules

> P50 Disabling nVidia Card Succeded

(the spelling error is theirs)

And it changes nothing. I tried other configurations and got worse results. This has really become a major headache. Any solutions?

Apparently the solution to this is the following and with the latest updates to bumblebee, it works:

Install Bumblebee

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia

sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee $USER

Reboot or re-login
