Dear Bumblebee-Team,

at first thanks for your work! I have a bug whenever I run optirun I get the same error. See this example:

andre@XPS:~$ optirun firefox
[ 4621.490492] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver

[ 4621.490599] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

Of course I searched the whole web for hours after my problem and for my surprise there were a lot of people with the same problem. I changed the config files of bumblebee and nvidia as described in many fora, but without success. The only solutions I did not try was to update my kernel or the nvidia driver. I am looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
Andre Pieper.
