Any suggestions?

Probably just this.

Which can be handled by xorg conf like this:

Section "ServerFlags"
     Option "ignoreABI" "true"
EndSection

I am guessing you have the bumbeblee xorg conf file (/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia).
In which case you can add the option there.

echo -e '\nSection "ServerFlags"\n     Option "ignoreABI" "true"\nEndSection' | sudo tee -a /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

Something like the above should append it to the file for you :slight_smile:

I don’t have any Section “ServerFlags”
My /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia:

##
## Generated by mhwd - Manjaro Hardware Detection
##


Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Layout0"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection


Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Device1"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    Option "NoLogo" "true"
    Option "UseEDID" "false"
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
EndSection

I know … I want you to create it.
(the command above will do it for you … but you can copy/paste the text and do it yourself too)

Thanks a lot
optirun glxgears -info
Is now working well
