Hello,
I had the bumblebee working using the nvidia driver. However, while trying to get dual display to work on my compute I went ahead with a fresh install of the bumblebee drivers. Now, when I load the system, and run the command "sudo lspci -nnk | egrep 'VGA|3D' -A3", it does not show the following line: Kernel driver in use: nvidia
The following commands are to show the current state of my system:
[Command]

When I run the command: optirun --status, I get the following response:

Code:

Unfortunately, when try to rum any program with optirun, the system becomes unresponsive.
