I'm copying a message from Nicolas Thierry-Mieg below. Hope this helps<br>
you figure out why things are not working.<br>

"you might have some useful info in /var/log/Xorg.*<br>
<br>
I had set up bumblebee on my son's laptop in the past and had to move<br>
some things around, because [some reason, can't remember the details<br>
but it was something like X not looking in the correct folders for the<br>
2 cards]. Carefully reading through the Xorg.* logfiles had allowed me<br>
to find the source problem. I can look it up one of these evenings if<br>
needed."<br>
