Not necessary, as it's nearly verbatim what's in the Nvidia README, and I managed to get this working by fixing my config file, which, admittedly, was a bit backwards.
(I had mistakenly thought that the intel chipset would be managing the screen resolution, as it's the output device- also, this is my first time configuring an Optimus-equipped machine).
Also, I might still want both sets of OpenGL drivers, per the askubuntu link, in case I want to run the intel chipset alone, on occasion.
(I'll need to see just how power and temperature-efficient this setup is, to determine how often I should opt for one over the other, but having the option, in and of itself, is a good thing, methinks.)
ANYHOW, here is the working config- I'll update the wiki this evening, as someone else may find this useful (should probably do the same with the synaptics config for my Elantech trackpad). It's working quite well, so far.
