Which bumblebee is suppossed to do but it breaks xorg if you aren't running an optimus based GPU. Uninstalling bumblebee does not remove the /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf config file and as such the driver is still blacklisted until you either modify the file to not black list the nvidia-331 module or remove bumblebee.conf. I have an nvidia 560 GTX video card.
