- | [http://www.martin-juhl.dk/ Martin Juhl] started with the project and published under GPL v3 and now continues with [Ironhide] (deprecated). To improve co-operation, developers decided to fork the project into a team: [http://Bumblebee-Project/ Bumblebee-Project].

- | | + | |
- | === Installation ===
| + | |
- | Bumblebee 2.4 and before was written in Bash and has now been superseded by Bumblebee 3.0, which is written in C.
| + | |
- | Many distributions are supported, including Arch Linux, Debian, Mandriva and Ubuntu. For the latest installation
| + | |
- | instructions, see http://wiki.bumblebee-project.org/Install-and-usage.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Ubuntu users (especially when upgrading) see [http://askubuntu.com/q/36930/6969 How well do laptops with Nvidia Optimus work?]
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | === Testing ===
| + | |
- | You can compare display performances with and without bumblebee :
| + | |
- | <pre>glxgears
| + | |
- | optirun glxgears</pre>
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Note: when running just glxgears, if you see this message:
| + | |
- | <pre>Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
| + | |
- | approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.</pre>
| + | |
- | The FPS value will always be close to 60. Instead you should do:
| + | |
- | <pre>vblank_mode=0 glxgears</pre>
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ===Configure it===
| + | |
- | On versions prior to 2.3, you had to run <tt>bumblebee-configuration</tt> to configure Bumblebee. Newer versions automatically detect the right version for you.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ===Uninstalling===
| + | |
- | If you've installed Bumblebee through your package manager, remove it using your package manager.
| + | |
- | ==== Source ====
| + | |
- | If you're really using an old version (from MrMEEE, versions prior to 2.3), you are screwed.
| + | |
- | If you have installed Bumblebee 2.4 from git, run `bumblebee-uninstall`.
| + | |
- | Version 3.0 and later can be uninstalled from the source directory by running `make uninstall`.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ===Reporting bugs===
| + | |
- | Run '''bumblebee-bugreport''' and follow the instructions, bugs or feature requests can be reported at http://Bumblebee-Project.org/issues.
