Comment 9 for bug 1032980

The issues I've been having with Mint 13 seem to be a kernel problem. I switched to liquorix 3.4 and the freezes have stopped. I still can't get bumblebee to work properly(optirun doesn't find the nvidia drivers), but that's a whole different story. bbswitch is working properly, so the external GPU is off and not draining any power.
I'm guessing(a bit n00bishly) once we have an LMDE installation with a kernel >=3.4 that should solve this issue.
