I am running Debian Jessie on a laptop with 2 video cards. I use Bumblebee to switch between cards. The optirun command initializes a new x server, that runs on the faster but more power consuming video card.
The problem is as follows
I run...
optirun vlc
or
optirun vlc --intf qt4
or
optirun vlc --intf qt4 --no-xlib
and vlc fails to load the qt4 interface. The vlc cli and ncurses interface do run under the optirun command, but are not as feature rich and easy to use as the qt4 interface. Any thoughts on the root of this problem?
The Bumblebee daemon log reads as follows:
