I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and I have Bumblebee installed. I've recently realized that "Additional Drivers" has finally detected my Nvidia GeForce GT 630M GPU, and it is asking me to install vdpau stuff. I don't know whether it's safe installing it this way. Is it going only to add vdpau support, or is the proprietary driver going to be used instead of Bumblebee?

It will break your bumblebee set up and you will most likely not be able to boot completely. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee

vdpau will need to be added by the bumblebee project for it to work with your set up. There is an answer here with a hack to use vdpau but it is still cpu intensive and is not something you would do in additional drivers and I do not recommend it. vdpau
