@Bilal Akhtar: I tried installing Google Chrome and the running it with
optirun64. It worked fine, however I can't activate OpenGL mode in Runescape
anyway. Can you activate OpenGL mode? Because software mode isn't that good.

@Stephen Brooks: Your solution seems to be what I was looking for, but then
again, I don't know if the game can't detect that the Nvidia card is running
because it defaults to software mode, it doesn't allows me to use OpenGL.
Anyway, I think I got something wrong with bumblebee. I will Investigate
further to check this out.

Thanks for your help.
