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.

For those affected and do not use a solution like Bumblebee (https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee), please run: update-alternatives --force --set i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf If you're running a 64-bit system, run: update-alternatives --force --set x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf This will set the default OpenGL library back to Mesa. Using a custom Xorg configuration file, you can still utilize the nvidia drivers. Note that Optimus is not supported for Linux so you've to use a solution like Bumblebee or hybrid-windump. -- 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 “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.
