Just upgraded to 14.04 to try to fix some other issues. Now, something has gone wrong with my graphics.

I have a Thinkpad T530 with Intel and Nvidia graphics cards.

$ inxi -SGx

I'm not sure what I did but now something is wrong with my graphics, as should be visible from the above commands. nvidia-detector says "none" as well.

I used to have bumblebee but then some website said to remove it and now something's clearly wrong. What's the right way to set things up? Should I try to add bumblebee back?

Here's what's installed now:

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia
nvidia-319                  install
nvidia-331                  install
nvidia-libopencl1-331               install
nvidia-opencl-icd-331               install
nvidia-prime                    install
nvidia-settings                 install
nvidia-settings-319             install
