nothing changed with the update
I'm still getting the direct rendering failure issue…

What's my xorg.conf supposed to look like? I think mine might be wrong. Is there a script in Bumblebee for creating a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

I never touch mine so ...

What does this show?

Code:
ls /var/log/packages | grep compat32

xorg.conf etc. files
Here's what I have:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
Code:
Section "Device"
 	Identifier  "Device0"

# I added this for trying to enable DRI, but it didn't help.

Both of your libvdpau packages should be at 0.9. If you remove the ones you have now and update with slackpkg+ that will bring those up to date.

Please remove the conf files you created as these are likely what is causing some of your issues. You no longer need a conf file for intel and many other cards.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf

bumblebee comes with a conf file but it is packaged with it and not in the X11 folder. You should not need to modify it, but I think your nvidia.conf is getting found first and confusing the bumblebee system.

Okay, they're both 0.9 now, but still I get the same blank glxgears issue.

What's strange is that I can't the gears of glxgears to appear when issuing any of the commands
Code:
$ glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
or
Code:
$ optirun glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
or
Code:
$ primusrun glxgears
primus: fatal: failed to acquire direct rendering context for display thread
.

Thanks, but that didn't change anything.

Did you re-run crazybee after getting libvdpau 0.9?

Why not try something besides glxgears?

I've tried Steam, which says:
Code:
OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.

For more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...9938-EYZB-7457
KDE doesn't even allow me to set any OpenGL rendering effects; it only allows XRender. It seems that, despite Mesa being installed, nothing thinks I have OpenGL, except when I run
Code:
$ primusrun glxinfo
, it says I do and that direct rendering is enabled.


Here's something I noticed, though:
Code:
$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose primusrun glxinfo
…
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
…
OpenGL profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL profile mask: (none)
…
Why would this be? How do I set these things?

This seems to occur due to deprecation: http://stackoverflow.com/q/4693017/1429450

Can you cat the contents of the primus and nvidia-bumblebee package in /var/log/packages and link to the pastebin or gist?

I haven't even been able to get passed the Steam warning:

It locks up right after displaying that dialog box.

What other configuration changes have you made since installing? Also, what is the make and model of this laptop?

I ask this as I feel we are running in circles trying to divine what is looking more and more like a configuration issue.

I updated to the current KDE. That's about it.

I get the same problem for root and newly-created users, too, and with different window managers like Xfce. And Steam was behaving strangely even before I ever ran crazybee.sh (e.g., I couldn't click any buttons in Steam and it complained about missing fonts).

It's an MSI GE70 gaming laptop with an Nvidia Geforce GTX 660M. Here's the LiCo page for this particular laptop.

I'm going to wipe this machine and start over. I'll let you know if I get the same issues.
