I checked again on the description of  bbswitch and bumblebee and
realized that those packages were written for situations where one can
choose between display cards and that my laptop only has one: NVIDIA
Quadro K1100M.

So I do not need them.

My display is working well and I can glxgears.

Thanks for you help.
