System: hp pavilion dv7-7008tx laptop
Running lspci | grep VGA
returns:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M] (rev ff)
I have installed all the bumblebee stuff:
sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus nvidia-331
When I do lshw -c video
I can only see my intel card, however, before I installed the nvidia-331 package I was able to see both the NVIDA and intel card.

I can however see my NVIDIA card in the "Additional Drivers" application. The radio button is selected to use Using NVIDIA binary driver -version 331.38 from nvidia-331 (proprietary, tested)
Regardless of if I run glxgears
or optirun glxgears
I get the same frame rate of about 60 FPS.
Any ideas of how to fix this? I was able to get bumblebee working on Fedora and openSUSE before on this machine so I am sure that I should be able to get it working but I can't seem to get it working with Ubuntu.
