optirun glxgears gives following:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  11 (X_GLXSwapBuffers)
  Serial number of failed request:  37
  Current serial number in output stream:  38
primus: warning: dropping a frame to avoid deadlock

journalctl output at the start moment:

bumblebeed[2536]: [  656.300931] [WARN][XORG] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device for DPI computation.

bumblebeed[2536]: [  656.300944] [WARN][XORG] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "NoLogo" is not used

The same thing is going on with any other package, though it shows it runs from dGPU, but I don’t know if it’s true.

Hi, are these errors new ? Or were they it already there when you installed the driver ? Have you changed anything that might be related to these errors ?

Actually they are old. It’s weird because optirun seems to run normally, but it still throws error’s in journalctl.

Everything I’ve changed is I created custom config for tearing fix.

So it appears to be a bug in libglvnd.

Workaround is exporting specific env value: export __GLVND_DISALLOW_PATCHING=1

Now optirun glxgears work and it’s running on NVIDIA card.

Be not lazy and check your PC/Laptop for the same issue because the issue affects libglvnd library and it won’t crash bumblebee or nvidia module, and if apps have no graphics they will run with your intel card and you won’t be able to even notice the issue (except low frame-rate).
