Here is a little update on how i disabled intel card and fixed the bug
(wtith x / nvidia-settings) ...
This should be done from a terminal without a gui running so either do it via
1) recovery mode > terminal as root or 2) logout > alt+ctrl+f1
..if a sudo command isnt accepted run it as root with gksu (or gksudo)
1)Changed (downgrade) kernel to supported version (i do it using grub since my
linux-headers-3.7.0.7-generic is not supported by nvidia drivers yet)
2)Remove all existing nvidia drivers // using sudo apt-get purge
3)Disable Intel gfx in bios (on my asus ul30vt its done by changing IDE
CONFIGURATION to "compatible")
4)Install nvidia driver (i chose nvidia-current-updates, but any driver will do)
5)sudo update-alternatives –config gl_conf
6)sudo ldconfig
7)sudo update-initramfs -u
8)Configure your xorg.conf
9)sudo nvidia-xconfig
10)Reboot
And ubuntu will boot up with nvidia gfx running, showing a "NVIDIA
SPLASH SCREEN" just after userlogin!
So Dave Lentz, it could be done without bumblebee, although I must say it was a
bit harder than just reinstalling bumblebee.
The check i mentioned, was something like this:
("I'm not really sure what hardware check you're referring to and why it would
check the laptop vendor.")
//I do this by memory so it may not be 100% correct
enable: nvidia-current-updates
...

Unloading nvidia-current-updates
Imo it should be an option to disable the intel card totally via a
terminal command, to force the accept of the nvidia-xconfig since
everything works perfect the second the intelcard hardware isnt detected
by the system
