Xorg - No devices detected. - Dell XPS L502x + NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M

Hi guys,
I'm trying to complete installation on my Dell XPS L502x equipped with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M. I've installed X (this), I've installed the Nouveau drivers (this) and configured them (this); finally I've configured X (this).

Now when I try to test X launching

startx

the system answers me with the "No devices detected."-error.

I'm not sure that my configuration is ok and I'm not sure that my hardware is fully supported!

These are my configuration files:

• /var/log/Xorg.0.log

• /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

• /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf

• /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf

Thank you in advance!

I've thinking of buying a laptop with i3 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M but I got scared reading this!

Have you find a solution?

What is all about Optimus on archlinux?

There's a solution. Well, "solution". It's not pretty. But the important part is, it works. Bumblebee
