 Thanks to Ryan McQuen, there is now a fully automated install script available for bumblebee. Details are in the readme on github. --- //[[wiki:user:whitewolf1776|whitewolf1776]] 2014/10/07 0932// Thanks to Ryan McQuen, there is now a fully automated install script available for bumblebee.

 +A few places there is reference to unsupported or missing slackbuilds.  This is incorrect and I thought would be updated by now, but specifically, I maintain branches for 14.0 and now 14.1 as -current has moved on and changed adding libvdpau to the core slackware install now. As such it will be removed from the master repo but will still be available via the 14.1 branch, just as the mesa patch is available via the 14.0 branch. Also, just as a heads up, bumblebee is gearing up for a new release, likely early in the new year.  I'll let you know when they decide to update it what will need to change.  Thanks. --- //[[wiki:user:whitewolf1776|whitewolf1776]] 2014/12/22 0951//

 +The crazybee script now has a stable option.  When you get a chance please update the page to reflect that.  Details can be found on the github site.  Thanks. --- //[[wiki:user:whitewolf1776|whitewolf1776]] 2015/02/09//

 +Why this instruction "COMPAT32=yes ./nvidia-kernel.SlackBuild" says to use the COMPAT32=yes if in the nvidia-kernel.Slackbuild there is no such COMPAT32 switch? --- //[[wiki:user:br_orion|br_orion]] 2015/02/25//

 +Likely an oversight on my part when i inherited the scripts.  It is not needed by the nvidia-kernel in any way.  Nice catch br_orion, thx :) TommyC, update please when you get the time, the README on github is updated. -- //[[wiki:user:whitewolf1776|whitewolf1776]] 2015/02/25//

 +>Updated info. except about the version branches. I'll get to those later since some -current updates have added some of the bumblebee dependencies for some of the branches (including libjpeg-turbo for the VirtualGL option), been a busy quarter too.  --- //[[wiki:user:tommyc|TommyC]] 2015/04/23 23:03//
