[SOLVED]lenovo y700 vga installation problem

Hi everyone
I'm new in Arch linux envronment here

I have a Lenovo laptop y700

so i went to install Arch linux dual booting with windows

and everything is ok so far till i tried to proberly install the graphics cards which mine is

Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 and NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 960M]

first i installed xorg , xorg-server and xorg-apps

then i followed Installing Bumblebee with Intel/NVIDIA from ArchWiki

installing mesa, xf86-video-intel, nvidia-340xx and nvidia-340xx-utils
and then added my user to bumblebee group after that enabled bumblebee.service  and rebooted
but when i installed mesa-demos and run this command

and when i run

$ systemctl status bumbleblee.service
or
$ optirun glxgears -info

it gives me this error

2675.986130] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0.  Please

[ 2675.986190] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

even tried the 64bit system command and 32bit and nothing worked gave me the same error

and even
$glxinfo
gives me badValue error

so, Can anyone help me step by step to solve this problem ?!

and also i don't find a conf files for xorg

i don't know the problem from X server or Drivers itself

EDIT:
I also installed xfce de and it works fine

Hi saw_mj, welcome to the forums.

Have you tried the troubleshooting section of the wiki?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
