When running linux in order to use the nvidia gpu a workaround called bumblebee was created. This app basically creates another xserver and virtualgl to direct the opengl calls into the xserver which can display on the intel framebuffer. This does require the nvidia driver, but also can work with nouveau. Running vdpau with this setup just results in errors.<br><br>I have read of someone using an app called windump, but the attempt was just hack and wasnt ready for normal users.<br><div
