Michal, I tried the new Nvidia driver packages with Bumblebee and unfortunately, Bumblebee doesn't work with them. At least, maybe not without doing a lot of work. When I tried to launch glxgears or any program with optirun, I got this error:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":8". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
The Bumblebee articles in the openSUSE and Arch wikis didn't help and I couldn't find an answer by searching either. If you don't want to do research, manual configuration or creation of symlinks, just keep using the nvidia-bumblebee driver. On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 5:47 PM, Michal Hlavac <miso@hlavki.eu> wrote:
Michael,
do you use bumblebee or did you use only nvidia driver from bumble repository? I am using bumblebee and I don't know if its safe to install new nvidia driver packages.
thanks, m.

Hi,

Hi =20 Since yesterday there are NVIDIA gfx driver RPMs available for Tumbleweed. Feel free to give them a try by adding the repository manua= lly via =20 zypper ar https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed nvidia-tumb= leweed
I used the drivers from the Bumblebee project for the last months. I gave the new tumbleweed drivers a try and so far they seem to work as expected. When installing the latest kernel, they were recompiled and still worked after the next reboot ;) To get there, I deactivated the bumblebee repo, uninstalled the drivers, added the repo from your mail and installed the drivers from there.
Thx a lot for your efforts.
One question, though: Do I have to care for any libs, if everything seems to work? Just in case ...
Bye. Michael.
