Bumblebee and nouveau

Hi everyone,

I have been using nouveau + intel graphics + bumblebee  +  bbswitch for months and all work welll. But now, It's confusing me.

At startup, the card have some temperature, not very high, but i think that the card is not swiching off. When I run "glxspheres", it uses the nvidia card becouse it run at 60 fps. But, here is the strange, when I run "optirun glxspheres", it runs at 17 fps and the temperature go to max.

Any thoughts or experiences about this? I have not updated the configuration files, maybe the packages or the kernel.

Thank you!

What laptop do you have? Some machines (notably Lenovo ones) allow you to choose the graphics card in BIOS.
