Problems with video card

Hello,

I have installed a Debian Wheezy, my laptop is a Acer Aspire 5742G with the Nvidia Optimus installed, I have installed the Bumblebee Project software for that, my lspci is the following:

ff:02.2 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor Reserved (rev 02)

ff:02.3 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor Reserved (rev 02)

The problem what I have is that the drivers are not installed because when I tried to do glxgears command I get the following:

Code:

user@groups:~# glxgears

No protocol specified

No protocol specified

Error: couldn't open display :0.0

Code:

user@groups:~# optirun glxgears 

[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0)



[ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

Mi video card is a NVidia Geforce GT 540M

what is the problem? The bumblebee seems to work since my laptop doesnt overheat, what packages I am missing?

Cheers

The Nvidia supplied driver doesn't work?

I doesnt seems at least what I am sure is that cannot find the nvidia module, it says that it doesnt exist as you can see on the glxgears response below:

user1@users:~# glxgears
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
Error: couldn't open display :0.0

user1@users:~# optirun glxgears
[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)

[ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

What I am missing?

Cheers

A little diffrent...

Root Questiong: wine lol got the same err info

May be somgthing wrong with OpenGL lib???

Any Suggesttion ????
