Hi Gorosito,

The resolution might be limited to 640x480, but this does not interfere with
the applications
ran in that X server in any way. There is a way to run "everything" off the
Bumblebee instance,
by running the display manager (KDE, GDM, whatever) with optirun. I've not
tested it myself (yet),
but there have been succesful reports (and also reports of crashing
applications) in such an
environment. Basically, you've to edit the profile in /usr/share/xsessions/
and replace Exec=/...
by Exec=/usr/bin/optirun /... Do not forget to backup the file so you've a
fallback if the DM fails
to start.

Regars,
Lekensteyn
