Oh, a small question. Can I blacklist nouveau and not try bumblebee yet? I mean, what runs my graphics with nouveau blacklisted? I am still catching up with these things... thanks & regards,
Yup, I had nouveau blacklisted even before Bumblebee came up :)

The fix to the random freeze is simple: Add the line "blacklist nouveau" to /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf . In my case, I'm able to use up the discrete card as well with bumblebee, you can try if it works for you. Hope it helps, Bilal Akhtar.
