It is for this propose but I think strange the lightdm/xdm not work after installing NVIDIA driver.
This NVIDIA driver package create only one directory for all files needed by driver, this makes it easy for the user.

Bumblebee and Optimus/Prime do not use /etc/X11/xorg.conf. In fact, the
xorg.conf file prevents the graphics from working. The system normally
runs on the Intel card, except when greater demands are made. Then the
Nvidia card transfers graphics to the Intel card to display (I think).
It really becomes kind of confusing, but it does work. I am typing this
on a Lenovo T520 with this dual graphics. My main reason to run this
setup is to have both the internal lcd and and external monitor
connected.
