This problem is still not solved. Workaround is to use ironhide (new name of Bumblebee) or hybrid-windump. One of these programs should be installed and used for 3d applications by default to make the use of 3d applications possible on Multi-GPU systems.
On my system with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M I do not have working 3d accelaration without ironhide or hybrid-windump. In addition, neither the recommended NVIDIA drivers nor the original proprietary NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIAs website work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to jockey in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660443 Title: Recommended drivers don't work with Nvidia Optimus Status in NVIDIA Drivers Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Nvidia's hybrid graphics technology "Optimus" (combines GeForce with an Intel graphics chip) is currently not supported in the Nvidia Linux drivers. When you install the drivers Ubuntu won't startup into graphics mode anymore. If you don't install the Nvidia drivers Ubuntu just uses the Intel graphics, and everything works fine. The bug: when you install Ubuntu on a PC with Nvidia Optimus, jockey recommends you install the (non-working) Nvidia drivers. Solution: detect Optimus and only recommend the Nvidia drivers when it's not present. Tested on Ubuntu 10.10 final.
