The laptop is actually a bto 15CL58, which as a Haswell i7 and an NVidia 
GTX765M. I have attached the file generated by bumblebee-bugreport. I 
installed Bumblebee following the instructions on 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee. The installation appeared to proceed 
without errors, but I can't run anything with optirun. The output of 
"optirun glxgears" is:

[10455.429027] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) 
NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please

[10455.429068] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

The full output of "optirun -vv glxgears" is:

The following lines appear in dmesg after each try:

[   84.579063] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
[   84.586110] [drm:i915_write32] *ERROR* Unknown unclaimed register 
before writing to 4400c
[   84.707175] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0x28:1200)
[   84.707181] NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed

Earlier in dmesg there is this:

[   15.459519] bbswitch: version 0.7
[   15.459523] bbswitch: Found integrated VGA device 0000:00:02.0: 
\_SB_.PCI0.GFX0
[   15.459526] bbswitch: cannot find ACPI handle for VGA device 0000:01:00.0
[   15.459527] bbswitch: No discrete VGA device found

I tried the hack-lenovo branch of bbswitch, but it reported that my 
kernel doesn't need the hack when I tried to load it. I have the 
following line in /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi='!Windows 2012' acpi_backlight=vendor"

This is to get the brightness adjustment working for the laptop display, 
but I tried it without that setting and it made no difference.

Please let me know if you need any more information! Hopefully you can 
help me get optirun to work on my laptop, I would really like to be able 
to turn off the GPU when it's not in use, and use it to make my games 
run faster...

Kind regards,
Pepijn Schmitz
