<div>Bumblebee allows you to run specific programs on the discrete graphic card, inside of an X session using the integrated graphic card.<br />
It's written by [http://www.martin-juhl.dk/ Martin Juhl] and published under GPL v3.<br /><br />
<br />
===What it does - and does not===<br />
Actually only Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSuSE and Fedora is supported by this script, but Martin is working on to porting on other distros and make his script more distro-independent. For info about state of work in distro porting or to help in porting please see https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee/issues/7<br />
<br />
Arch and Gentoo are support by:<br />
<br />
Arch Linux - ArchWiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee<br />
<br />
Gentoo - Iegor: https://github.com/iegor/bumblebee-Gentoo-support<br />
<br />
<br />
Currently this application '''does''' shut down the nvidia card when not used, but only on Ubuntu.. Other distribution are in progress.. still balance the load between the two cards is missing..<br />
<br />
===Installing it===<br />
<pre>git clone https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee<br />
cd bumblebee<br />
sudo ./install.sh</pre><br />
<br />
===Testing it===<br />
You can compare display performances with and without bumblebee :<br />
<pre>glxgears<br />
optirun64 glxgears (64-bit)<br />
<br />
optirun glxgears (32-bit)</pre><br />
<br />
Note: when running just glxgears, if you see this message:<br />
<pre>Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be<br />
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.</pre><br />
The FPS value will always be close to 60. Instead you should do: <br />
<pre>vblank_mode=0 glxgears</pre><br />
<br />
===Configure it===<br />

<pre>bumblebee-config</pre><br />
