Bug#776598: bumblebee-nvidia: Cannot access secondary GPU - error: X did not start properly

[solitone]

The strange thing is I had no /var/log/Xorg.8.log file!

Now, for several reasons, I have upgraded to jessie and I no longer get 
that error when launching optirun.

I'm sorry.

Regards,
   Davide
