Re: Bumblebee on fedora

I  looked into packaging it for Fedora a while back, but there are a couple of issues, iirc.

First of all, you'll also need to package VirtualGL, which isn't part of Fedora at the moment either.

Aside from that, Bumblebee(d) needs one of the vga_switcheroo, acpi_call or similar kernel modules to do power management, right? Those kernel modules are out-of-tree and Fedora does not ship out-of-tree kernel modules.

So indeed, RPMFusion is probably a better place, since they can distribute kmod RPM's.

Apart from that that, I installed bumblebee(d) on Fedora (I'm using it right now) and it wasn't a real big issue.

Fedora?


If you are able to package it, go ahead.
