OPTIRUN(1)                       User Commands                      OPTIRUN(1)

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
              supresses 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 messsages 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.
