I have a HP Omen laptop with Optimus (Intel + Nvidia). Bumblebee is installed and optirun works for glxgears and glxspheres64, however I can not get it to work for Chrome or Chromium. Any ideas?

I am running the Nvidia drivers from rpmfusion (the others did not work).

Note I had to fix the faker libs in /usr/lib64: cd /usr/lib64 ln -s VirtualGL/* .

optirun glxgears works great and uses Nvidia.

Running "optirun chromium-browser" fails with a lot of errors (many due to a font bug), and does NOT use the Nvidia GPU.

The font errors seem to be a font issue separate from bumblebee and Nvidia. It has been reported for several other systems as well.. If needed, I can do a bug report.

RPM info:

$ rpm -qa | grep nvidia akmod-nvidia-390.59-1.fc28.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-kmodsrc-390.59-1.fc28.x86_64 nvidia-modprobe-390.59-1.fc28.x86_64 nvidia-settings-390.59-1.fc28.x86_64 nvidia-driver-libs-390.59-1.fc28.x86_64 nvidia-driver-390.59-1.fc28.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-4.16.12-300.fc28.x86_64-390.59-1.fc28.x86_64 nvidia-libXNVCtrl-390.59-1.fc28.x86_64

$ rpm -qa | grep bumblebee bumblebee-3.2.1-2.fc28.x86_64 bumblebee-selinux-3.2.1-2.fc28.noarch

Note, I had a hard time getting F28 installed. I started off by trying workstation, but ended up using the server version, then loading packages such as Mate. I had to add "nomodeset" to the kernel line to get it to boot. Long story and I'll post it sometime/somewhere.....
