During ironhide installation failure was reported - test failed. Laptop is Dell-System-Inspiron-N7110, intel+nvidia GT 525M, CPU i3

After installation optirun command in terminal shows following:

#:~$ optirun glxgears
* Starting Ironhide X server ironhide...
* The Ironhide Xserver failed to start. Please check /var/log/Xorg.8.log
[fail]
ironhide could not be started - optirun cannot be executed.

Also, additional drivers - 'NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates)(version current updates) from Ubuntu X Swat, is activated 'and currently in use.', but NVIDIA X Server Settings shows famous 'You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.' If I do so, after reboot black screen appears, and I have to back up xorg.conf etc. to normally boot into OS. 3D acceleration doesn't work.
