[solved] After Gnome 3.8/Kernel update bumblebee is broken

After some troubles with Gnome 3.8 and GDM and getting back to work bumblebee is broken. I guess the troubles came with the new kernel.

$ optirun -vv glxgears

$ systemctl status bumblebeed

$ cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch

I made a fresh reinstallation of bumblebee but it does not help. All packages inkl. bbswitch are up to date (whole system is up to date). Thx for any hints.

if you are using SNA accel remove it and move to default uxa.

Actually my system currently handles both accel methods in gnome 3.8 fie. But with SNA bumblebee is crashing!

OK, I did not know that. I have to find another solution for Gnome 3.8.
Thx.

If you want to use SNA and Bumblebee together recompile the intel driver with disabled UXA support.
