--- Comment #10 from adelson <adelson.oliveira at gmail.com> ---
Afaik, in this laptop nvidia is activated under demand only. I have to
explicitly launch applications using bumblebee like,

$ optirun application

to activate it and have the application using nvidia resources (GPU, etc). 
I use it to run GPU applications I develop and to play flightgear simulator.

It is not activated on boot for example.

By the way, having this problem to build nvidia, I checked for its usage with
optirun. I found out that optirun is now using nouveau instead. Nouveau is much
better now and provide 3D acceleration that allows to play flightgear with
almost no difference to what I use to have with nvidia support. I did not
realize that nvidia was being laid off after OMV Lx 3.0 installation.

The problem is GPU applications. I have run my GPU applications recently only
in another computer and did not noticed nvidia was not available at this
laptop. But I may have to use it, particularly when I travel.

I've tried to force the use of libGL.so from nvidia libraries with error,

$ optirun -l /usr/lib64/nvidia-current/ glxspheres64 
Polygons in scene: 62464 (61 spheres * 1024 polys/spheres)
Visual ID of window: 0x20
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  156 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  17
  Current serial number in output stream:  18


I've booted with kernel 4.7.3 and had the same result. I'll have to review the
problem of using bumblebee + nVidia in this machine!
