fyi, probably a new unfree package, but is it possible to use bumblebee with nouveau?
--- Begin Message ---I propose a change to the nvidia-utils that is as follows: 1. Move all libs to /usr/lib/nvidia 2. Create nvidia-utils-helper package that only adds a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia file containing "/usr/lib/nvidia" 3. make nvidia-utils depend on nvidia-utils-helper Reasoning: A while back, I asked aur-general what they thought about putting bumblebee into [community] [0]. The responses were few but positive. So now I want to actually get this working. The suggested changes will enable me to integrate bumblebee without having to create a nvidia-utils-bumblebee package which would essentially duplicate all the data that is in the nvidia-utils package to begin with I'd like to keep it simple and not create nvidia-utils-bumblebee and lib32-nvidia-utils-bumblebee. Instead we can do with just a simple helper package. At the same time, we could delete a bunch of nvidia-utils packages on AUR. A new package "bumblebee" that I'd add would conflict/provide nvidia-utils-helper but wouldn't contain the ld.so.conf.d file. This would mean that the nvidia libs wouldn't get used by default on an optimus system but instead would need to be explicitly loaded (as is wanted). The transition should be seamless for all other users on non-nvidia systems. I know there was a proposal by an nvidia employee a while back to make changes to the nvidia upstream driver package as well as mesa that would enable inherent coexistence of mesa-libgl and nvidia-utils but I asked that employee and he said there had been no progress on that proposal. So here we stand. [0] https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2013-March/022295.html
