Announcing the release of bumblebee, kmod-bbswitch, VirtualGL, and
libbsd into the EL7 elrepo repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/bumblebee
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-bbswitch
http://elrepo.org/tiki/VirtualGL
http://elrepo.org/tiki/libbsd

These packages have been contributed by Rob Mokkink.

The bumblebee package provides a bumblebee daemon that enables Linux
to utilize the Nvidia Optimus Hybrid cards. It requires the libbsd
package.

The kmod-bbswitch package provides a kernel module which automatically
detects the required ACPI calls for two kinds of Optimus laptops. This
package is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range
of releases of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one
specific build.

The VirtualGL package provides a toolkit for displaying OpenGL
applications to thin clients.

The libbsd package provides useful functions commonly found on BSD
systems and lacking on others like GNU systems, thus making it easier
to port projects with strong BSD origins, without needing to embed the
same code over and over again on each project.
