Então, para que o Bumblebee funcione
a) Execute o seguinte comando para descobrir o BusID para sua placa gráfica Nvidia:
lspci | grep NVIDIA
O BusID é o número no começo da linha retornada pelo comando acima. Aqui está como a saída do comando acima está no meu laptop:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 525M] (rev ff)
O BusID é o número em negrito, "01: 00.0" no meu caso.
b) Agora teremos que adicionar o BusID ao /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia e para isso, vamos abrir o arquivo como root com um editor de texto (vou usar o Gedit no comando abaixo):
sudo gedit /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia
E neste arquivo, na seção "Dispositivo", adicione o seguinte:
BusID "PCI:YOUR_BUS_ID"
Substituindo "YOUR_BUS_ID" pelo BusID retornado pelo comando usado na etapa a). Para mim (lembre-se, para você, o BusID pode ser diferente), esta linha é assim:
BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
Em seguida, reinicie seu sistema e o Bumblebee deve funcionar assim quando você quiser rodar um aplicativo ou jogo na sua placa Nvidia, use:
optirun APP_OR_GAME
optirun glxspheres

# If the X server does not automatically detect your VGA device,
# you can manually set it here.
# To get the BusID prop, run 'lspci | grep VGA' and input the data
# as you see in the commented example.
# This Setting may be needed in some platforms with more than one
# nvidia card, which may confuse the proprietary driver (e.g.,
# trying to take ownership of the wrong device).
# BusID "PCI:02:00:0"
# Setting ProbeAllGpus to false prevents the new proprietary driver
# instance spawned to try to control the integrated graphics card,
# which is already being managed outside bumblebee.
# This option doesn't hurt and it is required on platforms running
# more than one nvidia graphics card with the proprietary driver.
# (E.g. Macbook Pro pre-2010 with nVidia 9400M + 9600M GT).
# If this option is not set, the new Xorg may blacken the screen and
# render it unusable (unless you have some way to run killall Xorg).
