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!
