Note: it relies heavily on 'virtualgl'. This also makes the approach taken by bumblebee not very effective. So, this package is actually mainly useful for shutting down your card so that it does not consume power/produce heat.

# 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 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: make sure that the 'bbswitch' kernel module is installed,
|
|
# then run 'bumblebeed' as root and 'optirun glxgears' as user.
|
|
# To use at startup, add e.g. to configuration.nix:
|
|
# jobs = {
|
|
# bumblebeed = {
|
|
# name = "bumblebeed";
|
|
# description = "Manages the Optimus video card";
|
|
# startOn = "started udev and started syslogd";
|
|
# stopOn = "starting shutdown";
|
|
# exec = "bumblebeed --use-syslog";
|
|
# path = [ pkgs.bumblebee ];
|
|
# environment = { MODULE_DIR = "${config.system.modulesTree}/lib/modules"; };
|
|
# respawn = true;
|
|
# };
|
|
# };
|
|
|
|
# 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 commonEnv over the module
|
|
# package, and parameterize the two wrappers as well)
