Not sure if this is the right place...
OS:
Ubuntu 15.04, Using oibaf PPA. Laptop: Asus N56VZ
I have GT650M with Intel. The nouveau driver doesn't seem to load with this
error in /var/log/Xorg.8.log:
NOUVEAU(0): [drm] failed to set drm interface version.
Googling, I've found people with the same issue, but no solution that is not
"use the proprietary drivers" which is I prefer not to do as they are quite
fragile during upgrades.
With earlier kernels (about 3 releases of Ubuntu back?) - Nouveau worked fine
with bumblebee, it hasn't for quite a long time, I've got a suspicion that
Nouveau and Bumblebee hasn't been working for anybody else during that time too
(since searching for a fix on and off the last few years).
