[bumblebee] Xorg configuration issue

Hi.

I installed Bumblebee by wiki article. I installed following packages: bumblebee, bbswitch, nvidia-bumblebee, nvidia-utils-bumblebee, lib32-nvidia-utils-bumblebee. Add user to bumblebee group. Then enable systemd service. No configs edit.

Now optirun glxgears work fine, but I need configure intel card and when I create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf optirun become unusable:

$ optirun glxgears
[ 8783.269954] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0)

[ 8783.269996] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "sna"
EndSection

Re: [bumblebee] Xorg configuration issue

The problem isn't bumblebee, it's the Xorg configuration you used.

The only way I've gotten SNA and bumblebee to work at the same time is to recompile the intel driver with only SNA enabled.

Re: [bumblebee] Xorg configuration issue

According to the Wiki, and my experience, the only workaround seems to be to move /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf out of the way when using optirun.
If someone found an actual solution for this I would be interested, too.
