But this is not compatible with ironhide or earlier bumblebee. Disable the discrete GPU automatically and use it only when required. It has more stability and whole code was re written a C. It is now abandoned project.īumblebee 3.0 was a fork of original bumblebee project. However ironhide wasn't well designed and it has lot of problems.

(0x26:0xffffffff:1170) NVRM: GPU at 0000:01:00.0 has fallen off the bus. Running optirun glxspheres gives this output in kern.log NVRM: GPU at 0000:01:00.0 has fallen off the bus. So I guess this shows that since it has no idea which card it is, it doesn't pick the right drivers.Īlso the computer is a Samsung Series 7 (700Z7C) if that helps Ii nvidia-settings 295.33-0ubuntu1 Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver
