Dolphin wont work with discrete GPU in Linux - Magiknight - 12-05-2016
Hi. I'm running Sabayon Linux. Dolphin runs fine with my integrated intel GPU. I install bumblebee to use my nvidia card by following this wiki: https://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=Bumblebee
My nvidia card will then work with every other game I've tried it with except for dolphin-emu. "optirun dolphin-emu" starts Dolphin just fine. When I click the play button in dolphin I get a pop up window that says "Failed to initialize video backend"

You should probably use primusrun instead. But anyway, what is the output of optirun/primusrun glxinfo?
