The part I'm concerned about is the FATAL ERROR

Fatal server error:
[    61.842] (EE) no screens found(EE) 
[    61.842] (EE) 

Which is the same error I get when running

optirun glxgears -info

.

Any idea what might be the problem? I didn't update my OS for some time and this happend with the last full system upgrade I did. The desktop enironment works fine. It's the bumblebee part that's messed up apparently.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebeed - FATAL (EE) no screens found(EE)

I've also just noted that

lspci | grep VGA

does not output the nvidia board as it used to. What happened?

$ lspci| grep VGA   
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics] (rev 05)

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebeed - FATAL (EE) no screens found(EE)

Xorg seems to have gotten more strict in what it allows and selects for devices. Check your /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia and uncomment the BusID mentioned there (... or double check it is correct, but it's normally that on all Optimus systems)

Edit: How sure are you? if the card is not attached to an output it will be listed as 3D controller not as a vga card, in doubt read the outputs without grepping.

Looks like it was the BusID the problem. Didn't know this had to be specified. Is this written somewhere?

Added :

BusID "PCI:01:00:0"

Anyway, thanks a lot! gonna mark as solved.

Re: [SOLVED] Bumblebeed - FATAL (EE) no screens found(EE)

It used to not be necessary, but technically the definition as it stands without it does not actually identify a device to apply to (... Identifier "nvidia" is a xorg internal string that is used to identify the configuration section and does not make any statement over which device it should apply to), and I'm assuming the new xorg release got more strict here.
