can't run primusrun together with an opengl overlay #182

Open thisischrys opened 8 years ago

thisischrys commented 8 years ago

I'm trying to run a minecraft launcher with both primusrun and mumble-overlay (an overlay for a voip program) both in a 64-bit environment if that matters. So basically two "wrappers". Is this supported in any way?

I tried primusrun mumble-overlay glxspheres64 and mumble-overlay primusrun glxspheres64

I think that the underlying issue is the same as in https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/731, but in the case something could be done to work this out (I don’t even know if it is possible or not), it might be easier in primus than VirtualGL. Unfortunately, @amonakov has not been very active on primus for a long time…
