When I delete the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I am able to boot into runlevel 5 and
I will see a distorted picture of "intel" where I would normally see
"nvidia."

I successfully installed bumblebee, bbswitch, kmod-nvidia and the nvidia
driver from ELRepo, edit the /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf and the
/etc/bumblebee/xorg-nvidia.conf and started the bumblebeed daemon.

The problem is that I am getting the 1280x1024 resolution instead of the
1920x1080. Is there something that I am doing wrong or something that I am
missing?

Thanks in Advance
