I'm having problems trying to get bumblebee working

Well, I installed arch in my laptop a few days ago and I'm trying to get the discrete graphics card working following the bumblebee arch wiki page. The problem is that, when I finish the bumblebee installation, I boot in text mode and if I try to launch the DE it tell me that the X server is busy.

LSPCI

[kuro@ArchShiro ~]$ lspci | grep 'VGA'
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [GeForce 315M] (rev a2)

I'm installing the nvidia-340xx drivers and I already added my user to the bumblebee group and actived the service. I'm not sure about what's going on. Right now I'm not in the computer, so when I can I'll post some logs, that will be more helpful.

Do you only have one video card -- the nVidia card? If so, why do you need Bumblebee? That is only for Optimus setups with an Intel card AND an nVidia card.
