for ConnectedMonitor detected?  Bumblebee allows the nVidia card
to be used on Optimus laptops. It starts a X server using the
nvidia card and transfers the frames to the display using
virtualgl. This works perfect for nouveau, but nvidia required
ConnectedMonitor to be set.  nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info
shows the values that can be detected by nvidia. Some machines
(Asus K93SV, GT 540M) show zero output devices, but if
'ConnectedMonitor "DFP"' is set, screens are suddenly found.
How does that setting exactly work and how can I detect the
correct value with or without the driver? (for installation
scripts which may not have the nvidia driver loaded) Lekensteyn
