Title:
DRI_PRIME=1 has no effect in Ubuntu 14.10
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On an Optimus laptop with both GPUs enabled, having run this command
so that the Nvidia GPU can be used to offload 3D work from the Intel
GPU:
```
xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink nouveau Intel
```
Then running this command:
```
DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor string"
```
provides the incorrect output:
```
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
```
when it should actually show that the Nouveau driver is in use for the
program.
This worked previously in Ubuntu 14.04. Apart from only having a 3.16
kernel (instead of 3.17) Ubuntu 14.10 actually supports recent enough
versions of the requisite packages necesarry to get DRI 3 offloading
support, so perhaps this is part of the problem.
Or, more likely, I notice a Nouveau failure after startup, and then
again after running xrandr commands, for example:
```

```
Perhaps this is just a regression in either the Nouveau or Intel
drivers for my hardware. I'm using a Lenovo T430. I can confirm that
I'm able to start the laptop without errors when I only enable the
Intel GPU or NVidia GPU separately, and only see this error when both
GPUs are enabled simultaneously.
Extra Info:
1: Description: Ubuntu 14.10
Release: 14.10
2: N/A
3: The text 'nouveau' should have appeared in the output of the
command.
4: The text 'Intel' appeared in the output of the command.
