The Bumblebee Project proudly presents version 3.1 of Bumblebee, a project
aiming to support NVIDIA Optimus technology under Linux.

The most important new feature is support for the alternative back-end 
replacing VirtualGL, primus. To learn more about this project by Alexander 
Monakov, look at the GitHub repo: https://github.com/amonakov/primus (be sure 
to read the FAQ!)
See release notes for information on using the new support. Primus-related 
bugs should be reported at the primus issue tracker. For Bumblebee issues, see 
http://wiki.bumblebee-project.org/Reporting-Issues. Again, be sure to read the 
FAQ of primus!

There are also some fixes and improvements, notably better support for newer 
generation nvidia cards. For a full changelog see: http://www.bumblebee-project.org/release-notes-3.1

Packages for Arch Linux, Ubuntu, Mandriva and many others are available.
Below are installation instructions for some distributions:
Arch Linux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee

The team is looking for users having the necessary knowledge to build packages
for other popular distributions, if you're interested please join
#bumblebee-dev on Freenode. We'll then link our documentation to the one from
your distribution.

If you run into problems, be sure to read
http://wiki.bumblebee-project.org/Troubleshooting.
Although we aim at stability, (compatibility) issues may still occur which can
be reported by following the instructions on
