Well, I can understand bumblebee/ironhide not being supported and I can certainly appreciate your support despite of that.

I think are bigger than just the ones concerning Jockey. I will try to have details later. I did try to apt-get install nvidia-current and then change /etc/alternatives/*gl_conf (that were left pointing at mesa) but then in X.log I got "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)" so perhaps this version of X is also not compatible with nVidia GL...

So, I don't know if Jockey does anything else that I should be doing manually to be able to use both GPUs.

With Bumblebee/Ironhide both xorgs running have 3d accel. it's only that glxgears points out very different performances for them :) so I like to have nVidia stopped almost all of the time but I really like to "optirun <my occasionally intensive 3d app>" and launch it.

So, I appreciate if there's more info you can give on this and will try to get to the bottom of this later.
