Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Rep:
The purpose of bumblebee is to get you support for both video chipsets on the machine. I suppose (maybe I shouldn't) that the HDMI is only available with the Nvidia chipset... So, once you have Nvidia working, you should get HDMI support...
Try using Windows and check to see if you can ID the chipset that's active when you have HDMI running. I can't be of much help there as I am not a Windows user. I also shy away from complicated hardware setups ... Call me "chicken." But it's a lesson learned from experience.
Sure. Before I dive into it, should I make 100% sure of what model of graphic card I have, lke NVidia GeForce? How do I do that please? Also I am fairly sure I don't have the optimus technology if that matters at all
thanks
