Bumblebee issue with 13.04

Bumblebee cannot access my GPU

I thought this issue might have been resolved as raring is now listed as supported in the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee

My gpu is listed when running lspci

lspci |grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor  Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF106M [GeForce GT 555M] (rev a1)

Does anyone have a working solution?

So to get Bumblebee to work

a) Run the following command to find out the BusID for your Nvidia graphics card:

 lspci | grep NVIDIA

The BusID is the number in the beginning of the line returned by the command above. Here's how the output for the command above looks like on my laptop:

 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 525M] (rev ff)

The BusID is the number in bold, "01:00.0" in my case.

b) Now we'll have to add the BusID to /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia and for this, we'll open the file as root with a text editor (I'll use Gedit in the command below):

 sudo gedit /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

And in this file, in the "Device" section, add the following:

    BusID "PCI:YOUR_BUS_ID"

Replacing "YOUR_BUS_ID" with the BusID returned by the command used under step a). For me (remember, for you, the BusID may be different), this line looks like this:

  BusID "PCI:01:00:0"

Then, restart your system and Bumblebee should work so when you want to run an application or game on your Nvidia card, use:

 optirun APP_OR_GAME
 optirun glxspheres

Help > W E B U P D 8 Check Bumblebee Section

Update

so your /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia look like this

 cat /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia 
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier  "Layout0"
Option      "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Device1"
Driver      "nvidia"
VendorName  "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
#   If the X server does not automatically detect your VGA device,
#   you can manually set it here.
#   To get the BusID prop, run `lspci | grep VGA` and input the data
#   as you see in the commented example.
#   This Setting may be needed in some platforms with more than one
#   nvidia card, which may confuse the proprietary driver (e.g.,
#   trying to take ownership of the wrong device).
#   BusID "PCI:02:00:0"

#   Setting ProbeAllGpus to false prevents the new proprietary driver
#   instance spawned to try to control the integrated graphics card,
#   which is already being managed outside bumblebee.
#   This option doesn't hurt and it is required on platforms running
#   more than one nvidia graphics card with the proprietary driver.
#   (E.g. Macbook Pro pre-2010 with nVidia 9400M + 9600M GT).
#   If this option is not set, the new Xorg may blacken the screen and
#   render it unusable (unless you have some way to run killall Xorg).
Option "ProbeAllGpus" "false"

Option "NoLogo" "true"
Option "UseEDID" "false"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "none"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
EndSection
