Bumblebee with nouveau?

Sat Aug 31 07:00:25 UTC 2013

Hi and thank you all for maintaining Nvidia drivers+Bumblebee in Debian!

I would like to setup the discrete graphics card on my Samsung RC530:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core 
Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] (rev a1)

Being cited in the wiki, I tried bumblebee+nouveau:

$ optirun -vv glxgears

It seems to me error being "X did not start properly", so (from the 
attached Xorg.8.log):

Now, my question is: regardless of performance, is Bumblebee known to 
work with nouveau driver?
If not, I'll try bumblebee+nvidia. If yes, I'll report the problem and 
ask for help.
Just let me know, thank you all for patience! :)
