ERROR: vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device

Hello,

Trying to make sure that I have Bumblebee setup correctly. I followed the wiki, but when running

optirun glxgears -info

I got no output. I saw this issue at the bottom of the Bumblebee wiki, and apparently the solution is to install primus and lib32-primus, which I did. Along with installing those two libraries, I also set

Bridge=primus

in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf, and I setup the Enable NVIDIA card during shutdown, and Enable NVIDIA card after waking from suspend. Now when I run

optirun glxgears -info

I see the gears and everything seems to run fine, I get the following output.

VisualID 211, 0xd3
293 frames in 5.0 seconds = 58.429 FPS\
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.008 FPS
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.009
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.006
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.009
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.006

My issue is, when I check

journalctl -p 3 -xb

see the following

I'm already aware of the PCIe issue, and I have already created a separate thread for that. What I'm concerned about is the vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device I couldn't find much info on this error, any help is appreciated.
