I have a alienware m14x r2 laptop, with the 650M graphics adapter. I have read the bumblebee entry on the wiki, and set it up numerous times, trying fixes from all around the web, but i still cannot fix this error:

[edit]
ive also tried both nouveau and nvidia

Looks identical to me.
I should add that I don't use a login manager... no GDM, etc. I startx from my profile.

Yep, me too. i just use i3 with startx, but ive tried it with KDM in the past and the same result. I just tried setting up nouveau with PRIME, and it seems to work just fine but i have had no luck with nvidia drivers.
by the way, heres my lspci
orion@m14> lspci | grep VGA ~
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M] (rev a1)

This might not be relevent, but whenever i have the nouveau module loaded i have this in my dmesg frequently:

/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="elevator=bfq zswap.enabled=1 rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1"How do you do this in syslinux?
edit: figured it out, and this solved my issue ive had for about a year... i feel like such a retard
for those of you with the same issue, (if you exist) just add this to your syslinux.cfg:
LABEL arch
MENU LABEL Arch Linux
LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
APPEND root=/dev/sda1 rw rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1
INITRD ../initramfs-linux.imgall you have to do is add it after your APPEND line..
and now optirun glxgears works just fine
thanks
