Hello all,
My bumblee laptop, an alienware 17 with an nvidia gtx 880m and with intel hd graphics worked very well. Last days I've been studying so not really gaming and yesterday I wanted to play a bit, but I couldn't activate my nvidia card anymore ... By running optirun glxgears in terminal to test this I get the error:
[ 160.584741] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) PreInit returned 2 for "<default pointer>"
I recently had an update for the nvidia drivers so I rolled back to the ones before but that didn't help. I also removed some of my aur packages recently but I remember having played runescape on wine with my GPU after that so I dont think that could be an issue ? Any help is welcome and just tell me what I have to post, I have no clue about what is wrong.
Thank you.

EDIT: tried to change bbswitch to bbswitch-git because that could've been the problem but it isn't, still got the same issue.
EDIT2: Uninstalled all from nvidia and bumblebee, installed nouveau again. Then installed everything back from scratch and still got the same issue ...
