Hello Andreas,

vdpau-driver is probably useful on bumblebee too, I'd imagine there
are users wanting to decode/encode with the discrete card.

Also isn't libglx (from xserver-xorg-video-nvidia) needed? Bumblebee
creates a new xorg instance on the fly where the rendering happens if
I remember correctly.

Kind regards,
