I have a Toshiba Satellite M645-S4080 that has Nvidia Optimus so I'm trying to setup bumblebee. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 x64 and followed these instructions to install: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee. When I try to run:

optirun glxspheres
The outcome is this:

[ 3230.013165] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) [drm] failed to open device

[ 3230.013254] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
So far, to trouble shoot I've followed the step here:

then,
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/61

Any ideas on what to do next? Any information that would be helpful? Thanks
