news from primus + bumblebee + nvidia (tesla)

[Patrice Duroux]

Hi,

I am still trying to make the situation as best as possible on my laptop system
(sid) with primus + bumblebee + nvidia (tesla one).
But I am facing the problem that the nvidia is loaded during the boot: it is
like the /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf file is not taken into account.

So when bbswitch module is available, this creates a broken situation:
1. bbswitch is loaded and turns off the discrete card,
2. nvidia is also loaded but unloaded after an initialisation error,
3. cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch says ON,
4. forcing it OFF generates an error in the bbswitch module,
5. nvidia is still not loadable.

Only when bbswitch module is not available during the boot, the situation is
better because, even if bumblebee is rattling for this, nvidia is loaded and
optirun is then working (more or less) as expected.

Thanks,
Patrice
