I have Debian Sid on my XPS 15 9560, the system informations are like
follows:
```
Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid \n \l
Dell Inc.
baseboard-product-name: 05FFDN
baseboard-version : A00
system-manufacturer : Dell Inc.
system-product-name : XPS 15 9560
system-version : Not Specified
bios-vendor : Dell Inc.
bios-version : 1.3.4
bios-release-date : 06/08/2017
optirun (Bumblebee) 3.2.1
```
I have installed the `bumblebee-nvidia` package from the official
repository. But when I use `optirun`, the terminal outputs following
error:
```
$ optirun -vv glxgears

```
Then I tried to configure the `KernelDrive` in
`/etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf`, neither `nvidia` or `nvidia-current`
works.
When I run `sudo modprobe nvidia-current`, the error is like this:
```
$ sudo modprobe -vv nvidia-current
modprobe: INFO: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:364 kmod_set_log_fn() custom logging
function 0x9820ee7390 registered

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_current': No such device
modprobe: INFO: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:331 kmod_unref() context 0x982129d200
released
```
I have checked the `modules` directory, it contains all `nvidia-
current.ko` and `nvidia-current-drm.ko` etc files.
I remember that when Debian was using kernel `linux-image-4.9.0-3-amd64`
there weren't any problem, however when it automatically upgrades to
`4.11.0-1-amd64` and `4.11.0-2-amd64` then bumblebee produces the error
above.
Attached please find the report generated by `bumblebee-bugreport`.
