Public bug reported: I noticed after upgrading to Saucy Salamander that optirun couldn't work with the nvidia driver anymore. It might have happened earlier but I don't know exactly when. It worked since around March 2013.
I tried installing: * nvidia-304 * nvidia-304-updates * nvidia-319 * nvidia-319-updates * nvidia-331 * nvidia-331-updates in combination with both bbswitch or nvidia-prime. I also tried upgrading the kernel to 3.12. When running with nvidia-prime, the system didn't start at all - a graphics configuration error was reported and the xorg log showed that the nvidia driver couldn't be used. When running with bbswitch, the computer starts but optirun doesn't work. The error reported is: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0 I haven't yet tried nouveau driver.
