Squeeze and Wheezy are old, and neither contained bumblebee.
Try using jessie instead, with no xorg.conf after installing
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and bumblebee.
If you don't see the external monitor in xrandr, then you'll have to
provide the xrandr -q; and Xorg.0.log files again.

Something the junk advertisers don't seem to understand: we live in an
information super-saturated world. If I don't want to buy something,
no amount of shouting or propagandizing will budge me; all it will do
is get me annoyed. On the other hand, if I have a need for your
product, I can seek it out in an eyeblink.
