Look I know about your pain with NVidia.
I spent hours reading their forums and the complaints of people about the lack
of proper offloading with computers with the Optimus configuration
(Intel+NVidia GPU), and how they're doing nothing about it.

I've spent over a day googling for laptops without Optimus, and it's nowadays
just impossible to find a decent device which only has an Intel card and still
has a quad core, docking station support and a trackpoint instead of a shitty
touchpad.

The only other option I would have is to not have a laptop, but I need a laptop
to do my job.

So I would very deeply appreciate if this issue was fixed, especially
considering the patch on the Bumblebee bugtracker for this issue is two lines
only ;)

If you need any help from me I will try to do my best!

Thank you
