Re: nvidia/nvidia systems: has anyone tried bumblebee?

 

Dear,

My system (lenovo w520, ubuntu 11.04 classic/non-unity) has become quite
unstable since using bumblebee, I'm kicked out of X from time to time. Also,
I'm quite sure the nvdia card is still draining the battery. Is there a way
to check this last / is bumblebee supposed to shut down nvidia completely
(or is development not yet there)?
