NAME

       optirun - run programs on the discrete video card

SYNOPSIS

       optirun [OPTION]... command [command options...]

DESCRIPTION

       Run an application using the discrete video card.

       --failsafe
              run a program even if the nvidia card is unavailable

       --no-failsafe
              do not run a program if the nvidia card is unavailable

       --no-xorg
              do not start secondary X server (implies -b none)

       -b, --bridge METHOD
              acceleration/displaying  bridge  to  use. Valid values are auto, virtualgl and primus. The --vgl-*
              options only make sense when using the virtualgl bridge, while the --primus-* options  apply  only
              when  using  the  primus bridge.  Additionally, value none is recognized, and its effect is to add
              paths to driver libraries to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (useful for nvidia-settings and CUDA applications)

       -c, --vgl-compress METHOD
              image compression or transport to use with VirtualGL. Valid values for  METHOD  are  proxy,  jpeg,
              rgb, xv and yuv. Changing this setting may affect performance, CPU usage and image quality

       --vgl-options OPTS
              a  space-separated  list of command options to be passed to vglrun. Useful for debugging virtualgl
              by passing options to it like +tr. These OPTS override the settings from  optirun  so  be  careful
              with setting it

       --primus-ldpath PATH
              a colon-separated list of paths which are searched for the primus libGL.so.1

       -q, --quiet, --silent
              suppresses all logging messages

       -v, --verbose
              increase  the  verbosity  level  of  log messages. It can be specified up to two times (or five if
              --quiet is used)

       --debug
              show all logging messages by setting the verbosity level to the maximum

       -C, --config FILE
              retrieve settings for Bumblebee from FILE

       -d, --display VDISPLAY
              find the Bumblebee X server on VDISPLAY. Do not confuse this option with the  DISPLAY  environment
              variable. By default, PATH is queried from the daemon

       -l, --ldpath PATH
              libraries  like  libGL.so are searched in PATH (useful for the nvidia driver). By default, PATH is
              queried from the

       -s, --socket FILENAME
              use FILENAME for communication with the daemon

       -h, --help
              display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

EXAMPLES

       optirun glxspheres
              Runs the graphics demo supplied with Virtual GL.

       optirun -c yuv glxspheres
              Runs a program with the yuv transport method for better performance.

       optirun firefox http://example.com
              Run a program with arguments.
