Hello all,
I'm new to the world of Linux but so far I love it.
Anyways I got everything working except my Graphic Card. I have a custom built laptop with i5 and nVidia 660M optimus with intel integrated chip.
I Installed bumblebee sucessfully and when trying "glxgears" in terminal I have around 180 FPS and with "optirun glxgears" I see the light indicator for the nvidia card is turned on and the FPS boosts up to 1000+
BUT the problem is that it wont work when playing.
Example: If I start World Of Warcraft via Wine via Terminal by command "optirun bash" and then "wine wow.exe" the light indicator turns on and all just like with glxgears but the game is still running on the intel chipset
The same thing happens if I use optirun in the properties -> Command on the link on the desktop.
EDIT: Looks like I got it some what working, When running wow.exe with optirun the light indicator turns on, the game loads, but the horror when the game opens, around 5fps, when turning the camera around the screen goes black until I stop moving the camera, models are loosing textures (turning green) and overall just garbage. It actually runs better on the integrated intel chipset (still poor on with the intel).
I've searched google and tried different solutions without any results.
So now after tried and failed my self I turn to the knowledge of the community. Any help are most welcome.
p.s tried the official linux mint forum but got no reply :/
Thanks
Eric
