Hi everyone.
I have the “inverse” nvidia" problem. glxinfo, glxgears, glxspheres64 run with optimus but they do not without it:
mimis@goldberg:~$ glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
**but
**
mimis@goldberg:~$ optirun glxgears
3907 frames in 5.0 seconds = 781.251 FPS
3920 frames in 5.0 seconds = 783.966 FPS
3824 frames in 5.0 seconds = 764.614 FPS
Other information:
mimis@goldberg:~$ uname -a
Linux goldberg.site 3.13.6-1.g4727218-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 7 07:30:35 UTC 2014 (4727218) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
/var/log/nvidia-installer.log says:

The problem also shows up here:

My problem is that whenever I run the Dassault/DraftSight (graphics vector drawing) with optirun the machine freezes very quickly (impossible to work).
Any ideas to work this around ?

P.S. I followed the steps in
