Issues with Bumblebee/Optimus

GG, amazingly your system seems very similar to mine. Everything seems to work but Minecraft. Yes, this 47.75 year old plays this. Started with my oldest and now the youngest. I have to figure this out.

Now, I can say, I do have Forge installed so I don't know if that is the reason or not.

Forge gives me no problems with any version of Minecraft I've played (1.7 through 1.10.2 Haven't installed forge on 1.11 yet) since I installed Nvidia-370.

Hmmmm...

Only other thing it could be, which might be possible, is this is a laptop but I have set to work only through my monitor over the internal Display. Mayhaps!?

EDIT: Oddly enough though, nothing else so far balks at it. GLXgears runs wonderfully too.

Now when trying to run with Optirun I keep getting that [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) and that is with GLXgears too.

"but I have set to work only through my monitor over the internal Display." <--- You lost me...

[MoonRise]

Yeah, I can see how that was clear as mud there... sorry.
So, yes, a laptop. However, I have my external monitor attached via HDMI and the laptop's internal display deactivated therefore "only through my monitor over the internal Display". By over I mean in terms of "in place of" or "in lieu of".

I think that should clear the mud, or it could make it worse. Let me know!

[GreyGeek]

Ah. I don't know if the nvidia-370 driver works through an external monitor. Your experience suggests it does not.
However, there is a panel to select alternate displays in the Nivida-Configuration screen:

[MoonRise]

Yeah but there wasn't anything that seemed to address what it was complaining about. As soon as I can and unhook everything I'll try it out as a "normal" laptop.

Update for those who care.

Yes, the Nvidia drivers work wonderfully as far as switching between the Intel and Nvidia display cards. However, once on the Nvidia display card, at least for this machine, NO it can not handle the HDMI port. Real bummer on that. If I can figure how to rearrange my desk I might could set to dual display but that would be hard at the moment with my set-up.

To note, Minecraft plays wonderfully on the Nvidia display card.

What is odd, in appearance, it seems Windows allows that through the HDMI so... I don't know. Odd.
