Details

Description:
Bumblebeed cannot access secondary GPU if its PCI Device Number is a hexadecimal number.
Error message is (without a cause):

<code>
[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE)

[ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
</code>

According to https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/573 Xorg-Server in not
able to handle these hexadecimal numbers. Therefore they have to be convertet into decimal
numbers by bumblebee.

A fix is provided here:
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/commit/2073f8537412aa47755eb6f3f22a114403e5285b

So I ask you to include this small patch into the PKGBUILD since this is for some people a serious
issue.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 3.2.1-3


Steps to reproduce:

execute optirun or primusrun

I get this error message on my HP ZBook 15 after kernel update to linux-lts 3.14.20-1.

After downgrade to linux-lts 3.14.19-1 bumblebee works again.
