AFAIK installing the standard nvidia packages breaks intel's OpenGL support, as > it replaces some of Mesa's libraries (and Xorg's libglx) with its own incompatible versions. And not even installing bumblebee can fix that.
So is it really a good idea to even suggest to install those packages in the "official" documentation? Shouldn't only installing nvidia-bumblebee be proposed?
Please note that I do not have any experience with Bumblebee or Optimus myself, > I never even used an Optimus system yet.
But I do know that many users ask for help in the forums because their Xorg doesn't start any more after installing the nvidia driver on their Optimus system, or that they cannot run any OpenGL applications on the intel chip.
Please forgive me if I'm completely wrong though.
See comment #2: * The nvidia driver is needed when wanting to play 3D games e.g. via Steam * for normal desktop use installing nvidia is not needed and therefore not recommended Whatsmore, when the nvidia driver is installed, why should one want to run OpenGL applications on the Intel chip, when doing the same on nvidia--which has far better "3D power"--is possible? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
