Hi,
I'd like to gather some opinions on this. I was thinking about putting
bumblebee, primus and bbswitch into [community] as it doesn't look as
though nvidia is going to fix this properly in their driver any time
soon. I know about the GPL symbol drama and the supposed fix that is
in
mainline now but how long until nvidia releases a working driver that
makes use of all that?
Until then, I think bumblebee is an ok fix. For laptops with optimus,
bumblebee is pretty much a necessity if you want any kind of battery
life and acceptable sound levels. I have a laptop with optimus and use
bumblebee all the time and I think it would make sense to have it in
[community]. The sad fact is that bumblebee is currently the only
working solution for optimus.
Normally I wouldn't ask the mailing list for something mundane as
moving
packages but as bbswitch is a kernel module and as bumblebee is not
very
highly regarded as a good solution even by its developers, I thought
it'd make sense to ask here first before people got angry.
I need this package and it gives me headache on every kernel update.
I'd be awesome if you move it to [community]. Thanks for the initiative!
