bumblebee xorg nvidia problem after nvidia-xconfig

I first set up my desktop with following,

# pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit
# pacman -S mesa
# pacman -S xf86-video-intel intel-dri
# pacman -Rdd mesa-libgl
# pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils

# pacman -S bumblebee bbswitch primus
# usermod -a -G bumblebee <username>
# systemctl enable bumblebeed

# vi /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
...
Driver=nvidia
...

# vi /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia
...
    BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
...

# pacman -S libva-intel-driver libva-vdpau-driver

Everything was working just fine, then I accidently did

#nvidia-xconfig

and the xserver stopped working.

Any ideas about this problem.. ??

Remove xorg.conf and see if it makes your setup work again.

Ok... it works now... So right now who is telling the xserver about which configuration file to use ? --- Found it..

Thanks a lot..

Re: bumblebee xorg nvidia problem after nvidia-xconfig

Bumblebee configuration is in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … figuration
I'm not using an xorg.conf, although I use some conf files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d .
