I am running the Debian 8.0 64bit (Jessie, the stable release) on my HP laptop.
I am having hard time in installing the proprietary nVidia driver of my graphic card
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller : NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 630M] [10de:0de9] (rev ff)
I have followed step by step the guides on debian wiki.
Bumblebee is required since my graphic card comes with nvidia optimus.
So far so good, I think I have all the right packages required on my machine.
Now I have to enable bumblebee.
It turns out the right command is
sudo optirun nvidia-settings -c :8
So a graphic front-end appears, I leave all the defaul checks and I have just to save the configuration file in the /etc/X11 folder as xorg.conf.
But at the system restart I get the black screen and x can't start, it says that there are "No screens found".
Here it is the log
