# The bumblebee package allows a program to be rendered on an # dedicated video card by spawning an additional X11 server and # streaming the results via VirtualGL or primus to the primary server. # The package is rather chaotic; it's also quite recent. # As it may change a lot, some of the hacks in this nix expression # will hopefully not be needed in the future anymore. # To test: # 1. make sure that the 'bbswitch' kernel module is installed, # 2. then run 'bumblebeed' as root # 3. Then either 'optirun glxinfo' or 'primusrun glxinfo' as user. # # The glxinfo output should indicate the NVidia driver is being used # and all expected extensions are supported. # # To use at startup, see hardware.bumblebee options. # This nix expression supports for now only the native nvidia driver. # It should not be hard to generalize this approach to support the # nouveau driver as well (parameterize hostEnv, i686Env over the # module package, and parameterize the two wrappers as well) { stdenv, fetchurl, pkgconfig, help2man , libX11, glibc, glib, libbsd , makeWrapper, buildEnv, module_init_tools , xorg, xkeyboard_config , nvidia_x11, virtualgl # The below should only be non-null in a x86_64 system.
