This fix works for me although I could not properly test any 3D applications. My Steam client is acting weird and does not see my installed games anymore, complaining about partition being non- executable. Also it was hanging at after entering password. I had to create a new user and start fresh.

What I don't understand, the proposed drivers are they already implemented in the routine update (I thought they had to be updated manually)? Otherwise I might have had a completely different problem with the bumblebee and nvidia drivers, solved by chance with Your approach. 2015-07-27 18:33
