Re: Re: Recommended way to use Debian?

Thanks everyone for your help, it does indeed look like I'm having graphics issues thanks to Optimus. Plasma suddenly died on me just now (or atleast that's what I thought happened) and after looking into Xorg.0.log I saw that actually my Intel GPU had crashed! Hence why I couldn't see Plasma decorations. So I'll email that pkg-nvidia-devel list, maybe the Bumblebee guys are interested and if not I'll send my crash report to Intel.

Cheers,
Shervin Emami.

I wouldn't be surprised if Optimus is indeed one/the source of your problems.
To determine whether that is indeed the case, you'd probably want to write an
email to the nvidia devel ML (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-nvidia-devel) for that.
AFAIK the bumblebee maintainers are also subscribed to that list.
