HA, after throwing the towel in, I still made 1 effort to check the Arch wiki regarding bumblebee and it seems I found a solution
They really have an EXCELLENT wiki. Seems that the intel related xorg.conf is interfering with bumblebee. So these are the steps that finally got my optirun glxgears running ;-)
1. install driver nvidia-367 from graphics ppa (long-lived branch) and do prime-select intel
2. install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia and primus from bumblebee/testing repo (add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/testing)
3. adapt /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf and /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf according to this article http://www.webupd8.org/2016/08/how-to-in...lebee.html
4. check if PCI BusID in /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia is OK (check with lspci | egrep 'VGA|3D')
5. and the magic step that did it: move /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel to some other backup location :-) /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d must be empty
6. reboot
7. try optirun glxgears - for me WORKS and NO SCREEN TEARING
8. primusrun glxgears RUNS ALSO
