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.
