Hi there

I have a Lenovo Y470 with an nVidia GT 550M card and i7 2nd Gen Intel Proc.

The Linux distro I am using is Backtrack 5R1 (ported from Ubuntu Lucid).

Tried installing Bumblebee with latest nVidia drivers using x-swat ppa, but I am still getting errors of the following:

```
The Bumblebee X server was not available, please check the
Bumblebee logfile at /var/log/bumblebee.log
==================================================
```

Which always leads me to:

```
Nov 8 02:15:01 bt kernel: [ 4071.419800] NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory.
Nov 8 02:15:01 bt kernel: [ 4071.422925] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x30:0xffffffff:864)
Nov 8 02:15:01 bt kernel: [ 4071.422932] NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed
```

Its really annoying and I lost a night of sleep due to this :-/...please help :-)

Thank you
