# Configuration file for Bumblebee. Values should **not** be put between quotes



## Server options. Any change made in this section will need a server restart

# to take effect.

[bumblebeed]

# The secondary Xorg server DISPLAY number

VirtualDisplay=:8

# Should the unused Xorg server be kept running? Set this to true if waiting

# for X to be ready is too long and don't need power management at all.

KeepUnusedXServer=false

# The name of the Bumbleblee server group name (GID name)

ServerGroup=bumblebee

# Card power state at exit. Set to false if the card shoud be ON when Bumblebee

# server exits.

TurnCardOffAtExit=true

# The default behavior of '-f' option on optirun. If set to "true", '-f' will

# be ignored.

NoEcoModeOverride=false

# The Driver used by Bumblebee server. If this value is not set (or empty),

# auto-detection is performed. The available drivers are nvidia and nouveau

# (See also the driver-specific sections below)

Driver=nvidia



## Client options. Will take effect on the next optirun executed.

[optirun]

# Acceleration/ rendering bridge, possible values are auto, virtualgl and

# primus.

Bridge=auto

# The method used for VirtualGL to transport frames between X servers.

# Possible values are proxy, jpeg, rgb, xv and yuv.

VGLTransport=proxy

# Should the program run under optirun even if Bumblebee server or nvidia card

# is not available?

AllowFallbackToIGC=true





# Driver-specific settings are grouped under [driver-NAME]. The sections are

# parsed if the Driver setting in [bumblebeed] is set to NAME (or if auto-

# detection resolves to NAME).

# PMMethod: method to use for saving power by disabling the nvidia card, valid

# values are: auto - automatically detect which PM method to use

# bbswitch - new in BB 3, recommended if available

# switcheroo - vga_switcheroo method, use at your own risk

# none - disable PM completely

# If the X server does not automatically detect your VGA device,

# you can manually set it here.

# To get the BusID prop, run `lspci | grep VGA` and input the data

# as you see in the commented example.

# This Setting may be needed in some platforms with more than one

# nvidia card, which may confuse the proprietary driver (e.g.,

# trying to take ownership of the wrong device).

# BusID "PCI:02:00:0"

BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

# Setting ProbeAllGpus to false prevents the new proprietary driver

# instance spawned to try to control the integrated graphics card,

# which is already being managed outside bumblebee.

# This option doesn't hurt and it is required on platforms running

# more than one nvidia graphics card with the proprietary driver.

# (E.g. Macbook Pro pre-2010 with nVidia 9400M + 9600M GT).

# If this option is not set, the new Xorg may blacken the screen and

# render it unusable (unless you have some way to run killall Xorg).
