Re: bumblebee v1.0 has been released... updated script and new name...

 

I'm not sure if the nvidia acceleration works. When I've tried activating
those drivers i had problems, although that was with Gnome 2. Is there a way
for me to check the nvidia acceleration?

Also, it could be that I'm misconfiguring on install. My machine isn't in
the list so I'm not sure which option to set. Do I need to restart after
install? I'm just running vglclient in one terminal and then optirun in
another, and I haven't rebooted since installing.
