[Bug 1230008] [NEW] Bumblebee "optirun" or "primusrun" flashes screen for a moment before launching apps

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Sergio Benjamim (sergio-br2):

I have installed nvidia-319-updates (319.49) and bumblebee-nvidia, I
configured some files too, reboot and try "optirun" and "primusrun" with
some apps, and it's OK, it seems that the system uses well nvidia
graphic card. But there is a little problem: It seems that the screen
flashes for a moment, before launching the application. Is this normal?

With the command "optirun --status", I got this:

Bumblebee status: Error (3.2.1): [XORG] (EE) Server terminated
successfully (0). Closing log file.

This problem has been discussed on the following pages:

Are these things related?
