I have an Alienware m11x with Optimus Technology. I setup (Fresh Install) Ubuntu 12.04 with bumblebee as below. Please help me set up the HDMI output so that I can connect it to my monitor.
$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-24-generic-pae #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 18:54:21 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ lspci | grep -i vga

$ dpkg --get-selections
bumblebee install
bumblebee-nvidia install
$ bumblebeed -version

Should xrandr
normally show HDMI?
$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 256mm x 144mm

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

EndSection
Section "Device"

EndSection
$ cat /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

Any ideas on setting up the Optimus to output to the HDMI T.V.?
I want to enable my HDMI with my GeForce GT 540M.
