I was just about to answer exactly that, Alexander :-)

Moreno:
As for nvidia support - this should "just work"! Simply install the
nvidia drivers from the Mandriva repository and that should be it!
Upon installation, the bumblebee package runs:
update-alternatives --set gl_conf /etc/ld.so.conf.d/GL/standard.conf
You may have to do this manually if you (re)install the nvidia drivers
after bumblebee.
If you encounter any problems with this configuration, be sure to let
me know and I'll help you get it working properly.
