Hello everyone,

I run after booting directly optimus glxinfo and all seems ok. After the execution of glxinfo come the following error

* Stopping Ironhide X server ironhide
ERROR: Module nvidia is in use by [permanent]
Error: could not unload nvidia module, leaving card turned on

The second run off the same glxinfo
* Starting Ironhide X server ironhide
DON Enabling nVidia card succeeded.
... * The Ironhide Xserver failed to start. Please check /var/log/Xorg.8.log [fail]
ironhide could not be started - optirun cannot be executed.
