Sorry what is “KMS package”?
I think he meant the dkms package (dkms-2.2.0.3-16.1.noarch.rpm available from the X11:/Bumblebee repo).
The X11:/Bumblebee repo looks OK now, maybe it is worth trying again; it is not clear to me wether the packages from home:dirtycold
have custom modifications that might require special configs…
Yes dkms sorry typo. 
DKMS is a way to re compile things when a kernel is upgraded. Without it you have to reinstall
I reinstalled from the Bumblebee repo as follow:

That looks strange: where does it come from?
Try deleting the “blacklist nvidia” line, then rebuild the initrd (dracut --hostonly --force) and reboot.
Done with no results.

It seems that the latest driver does support no more my nvidia card?

This is puzzling, the README.txt file for 375.26 at line 7005 lists your card among “supported GPUs”:
GeForce GT 640M LE 0FD3
Maybe something disabled the GPU some other way or otherwise prevented it from being seen?
Further the blacklisting of nouveau doesn’t work
Very frustrating matter

robber@vaio-i5:~$
Your 50-bbswitch.conf looks right to me, with both states being 1
With unload_state=0 or load_state=0 it used to provoke the same symptoms on my laptop as on yours.
bbswitch is switching off the Nvidia card at a very early stage of your boot process:
2.687991] bbswitch: disabling discrete graphics
It should not be switched off with load_state=1 while booting before configuration of the ressources takes place.
I think this is a timing problem, preventing the correct initialization of the Nvidia card, that is, the Nvidia card is already switched off,
when the ressources of your CPU are distributed to the laptop components during the boot process.
The Nvidia card looks dead at that moment, not reacting to any questions asked by the boot process.
The wrong distribution of the ressources can’t be corrected later, only when rebooting with the right timing, the Nvidia card switched on during ressources distribution.
With your 50-bbswitch.conf content looking correct, the only guess would be to rebuild the initrd by
mkinitrd
and reboot the system afterwards, hoping the initialization didn’t work due to the fact that your correct 50-bbswitch.conf wasn’t respected when your inital ramdisk was built.
