Hey Aditya,
You shouldn't write to people on mailing lists directly. It's bad form
and more importantly prevents a possible answer from being archived for
others to find. Besides, plenty of people on the list know plenty of
things about X that I don't.Ehm, I only mentioned Bumblebee because I believe your card comes with
I did try that wiki page - installing all those things step by step.
Nvidia Optimus. I haven't checked it yet, but it'll be necessary to get
the best out of the card in any case.

In the meantime, as I said, it was enough to get rid of nvidia/nouveau
and run X with the intel driver.
So:
* check "lspci", if you have both a VGA line and a "Display controller"
line, the latter is probably Intel
* if so, get rid of nvidia/nouveau (check with something like "dpkg -l
'*nvidia*' | grep ^ii")
* make sure you have the intel driver (xserver-xorg-video-intel), maybe
install libva-intel-vaapi-driver too
* for me libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri were needed too
* finally, move your old xorg.conf out of the way and start X without
one, it should figure it out by itself
This worked for me. If it doesn't for you, please don't forget you can
use Google just like anybody would have to. Only that vague error line
("nvidia x no devices detected") was enough to get you started.
Luck!
Tom
