I am on a clean minimal Debian Stretch install with just a couple of graphical packages installed. I instelled these:

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-core xinit bumblebee-nvidia primus primus-libs:i386 libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386

But I could swap propietary bumblebee-nvidia with open source bumblebee.

I also put my user to the bumblebee group:

sudo adduser $USER bumblebee

After reboot my Intel card works fine:

ziga@ziga-laptop:~$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL

OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ivybridge Mobile 

OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 13.0.6

OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30

OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)

OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile

OpenGL core profile extensions:

OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 13.0.6

OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30

OpenGL context flags: (none)

OpenGL extensions:

OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 13.0.6

OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00

OpenGL ES profile extensions:

But my Nvidia card wich is Geforce 610M won't work when called with optirun:

ziga@ziga-laptop:~$ optirun glxinfo | grep OpenGL

primus: fatal: failed to load any of the libraries: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/libGL.so.1:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/nvidia/libGL.so.1:/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/nvidia/libGL.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If I use apt to search for my card I get this:

ziga@ziga-laptop:~$ sudo apt search 610M

xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx/stable 304.137-5~deb9u1 amd64

  NVIDIA binary Xorg driver (304xx legacy version)

From this I would install nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver but I am afraid this won't work well with other packages that I have installed above. Is it possible that I also need xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx?

Can anyone explain to me which packages to install and why?

Well, I couldn't wait any longer and I tried installing the xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx. It really looks like this package is in conflict with bumblebee-nvidia package. I got this after installation:

nvidia-legacy-304xx:

Running module version sanity check.

 - Original module

   - No original module exists within this kernel

 - Installation

   - Installing to /lib/modules/4.9.0-8-amd64/updates/dkms/

I uninstalled the xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx and tried to install the nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver package which also installed the xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx package. It returned no warnings and no errors, but after reboot optirun glxinfo | grep OpenGL command still fails...

It looks like there is no solution to this even on Debian which was supposed to be stable?
