I do not know if your request has been accepted but this morning I
found Bumblebee package in Contrib mirror.

A BIG THANKS!!!!!!  I'm waiting this package from a lot of time.

On my Asus N55SF with Nouveau driver it work properly, but is
necessary make some small modification.

I had to create the group "bumblebee" (I used GID 400) and add my
users to this group, after this optirun work fine.


Remain the problem with Nouveau driver which have very poor performances.

Glxgears  (Intel)                   37W 3233FPS
OptiRun Glxgears (Nouveau) 68W 970FPS

Can we hope in a dkms-nvidia-bumblebee package??


Another BIG THANK for your great job.


Bye Bye, Moreno
