Hi guys,
I'm trying to install nouveau to work with bumblebee. When I just installed the system and tried to run optirun, it gave me some sort of error about not detecting a mouse, which I solved by looking around some forums and installing some xf86 mouse driver. At this point it still didn't work, but after restarting a few times at one point it miraculously started working. So I left it at that.
I tried optirun again today, not changing any of the configurations, and it gives me the following error:
$ optirun glxgears
[ 582.847234] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] failed to set drm interface version.
[ 582.847265] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.I completely reinstalled the following packages: bumblebee, bbswitch, xf86-video-nouveau, xf86-video-intel and primus (I didn't reinstall mesa as I had some dependencies on it) and it still gives me the same error. At no point did I install the proprietary drivers.
This is my hardware:

Ok, so I have an update:
I managed to make it work. The first thing I did was follow the instructions here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1326090
This did not solve the issue, so I'm not sure if this was a necessary step, but it made the boot screen look nicer.
Then I randomly decided to modprobe nouveau. So I did rmmod nouveau, followed by modprobe nouveau while checking dmesg. It seemed to have done something. So I retried optirun and it worked.
However, it was giving me 60FPS, same as the intel card. Also it was giving me something about "failed to load any of the libraries: /usr/$LIB/nvidia/libGL.so.1", which is weird since I don't have nvidia installed. Also, when I quit glxgears, it sometimes shut the screen and fan of the computer off.
The error message was along the lines of
293 frames in 5.0 seconds = 58.481 FPS
primus: warning: dropping a frame to avoid deadlock
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
after 37 requests (37 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
primus: warning: dropping a frame to avoid deadlock
primus: warning: timeout waiting for display workerOn a hunch I changed Bridge=virtualgl in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf, and then it worked fine.
When I run primusrun it no longer looks for the library in the nvidia folder and there is a libGL.so.1 file in /usr/lib/primus, however optirun works fine while primusrun gives me 60 FPS and the error above when quitting. Does anyone know how to fix that?
Edit: after restart primusrun again gives
primus: fatal: failed to load any of the libraries: /usr/$LIB/nvidia/libGL.so.1
/usr/$LIB/nvidia/libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directorywhile optirun works. Will snoop around.
Other than that, hope this helped someone. I saw this error everywhere with no solution.
Fina Edit: Ok, so the libGL file needs to come from mesa, but it's looking for the nvidia because for some reason mesa-libgl didn't install with mesa. So: uninstalled primus, installed mesa-libgl, reinstalled primus. Now fully works. Marking as solved.
