I'm copying a message from Nicolas Thierry-Mieg below. Hope this helps you figure out why things are not working. Akemi "you might have some useful info in /var/log/Xorg.* I had set up bumblebee on my son's laptop in the past and had to move some things around, because [some reason, can't remember the details but it was something like X not looking in the correct folders for the 2 cards]. Carefully reading through the Xorg.* logfiles had allowed me to find the source problem. I can look it up one of these evenings if needed." _______________________________________________ elrepo mailing list elrepo@lists.elrepo.org http://lists.elrepo.org/mailman/listinfo/elrepo
