bumblebee project + libbsd
Re: bumblebee project + libbsd
I see it now. I need to do some tweaking on the configuration of bbswitch.
https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch
I need to test:
load_state
unload_state
And create a config file in /etc/modprobe.d
On my test system i have a external usb drive on which centos is installed, so it has 2 drives, i will leave the usb drive plugged in, when i boot up windows 7.

I installed the kmod-nvidia package.
Configured bumblebee and run glxgears and optirun glxgears, everything works wel.
I also did a glxgears -info and optirun glxgears -info, to see if i am using the nvidia card, and with the kmod-nvidia installed i see nvidia instead of software rastersizer
Except when i reboot, it want's to load the nvidia module and then it say's no such device.
It looks like bumblebee completely disables the card. Have to dig a little bit further.

Re: bumblebee project + libbsd
kmod-nvidia doesn't work together with bumblebee. I tried all kinds of configuration settings.
I now have 2,5 hours of battery time with bumblebee, but that's only when the laptop is not under stress. When i put some load on it, the battery goes empty very quickly.
THe hybrid cards are still a problem in combination with linux.

Re: bumblebee project + libbsd
At least you got it to work. Best success I've seen to date.
Re: bumblebee project + libbsd
I am browsing for an hour now, to look for a solution to package a app, thatś only in .deb format. My battery status changed from 25% back to 59%. Before the reboot i only had 25%.
I removed the virtualgl package.
I would really like to have a RHEL 6 klone running stable on my laptop. I want a stable laptop, i am not looking for a linux distro i have to do extensive upgrading, like ubuntu and fedora.
I will do some extensive tests the next couple of days.

Re: bumblebee project + libbsd
I got kmod-nvidia working now.
I forgot to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf
After a reboot everything works now.
Have to do some more testing.

Thanks for the report. Standing by for more.
Re: bumblebee project + libbsd
I have a first version of the bumblebee rpm ready. I am now going to create the bbswitch rpm.
Can i send the bumblebee rpm to elrepo team, so they can test it, verify it?

Re: bumblebee project + libbsd
Just finished the bbswitch rpm.
All looks good, i tested it on my laptop. Maybe the rpm's need some tweaking, because it's allways good to let someone else have a look.
I will contact the elrepo team to upload the rpm's.

Re: bumblebee project + libbsd
Best way to do that is probably to open a [url=http://elrepo.org/bugs/main_page.php]RFE in the bug tracker[/url].
