Hello, i am using the other issue with the unable to load nvidia module as reference to provide as much info as possible, since this issue seems to be a bit .. out of the ordinary:

System: Asus K53SC Notebook with Intel Gfx and a Nvidia GT 520MX

debumblebee installed w/o errors, and i got the nvidia-kernel-dkms 290.10 installed, support for the card was added in 285.xx

'modprobe nvidia' returns nothing

'dkms status' returns:
nvidia, 290.10, 3.1.0-1-amd64, x86_64: installed

'insmod /lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko' says:
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko': -1 File exists
the nvidia GLX module loads too
