# The bumblebee package allows a program to be rendered on an
# dedicated video card by spawning an additional X11 server
# and streaming the results via VirtualGL to the primary server.

# The package is rather chaotic; it's also quite recent.
# As it may change a lot, some of the hacks in this nix expression
# will hopefully not be needed in the future anymore.

# To test: make sure that the 'bbswitch' kernel module is installed,
# then run 'bumblebeed' as root and 'optirun glxgears' as user.
# To use at startup, see hardware.bumblebee options.

# This nix expression supports for now only the native nvidia driver.
# It should not be hard to generalize this approach to support the
# nouveau driver as well (parameterize commonEnv over the module
# package, and parameterize the two wrappers as well)
