Actually I am unable to hardware accelerate android emulator in optimus setup. Read more at : Google Issue Tracker

It seems I have OpenGL installed

$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL

I installed the drivers as mentioned in How to Set Nvidia as Primary GPU on Optimus-based Laptops :: Fedora Docs

But according to this post It seems I should try .run file from NVidia website.
Is it okay to install drivers from .run file?

I did not set dGPU as primary as mentioned in here, since it would drain battery.

But I set Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes" to test whether it makes a difference and it did.
I could launch glxgears without any issues. I can even launch emulator without being segfault.

But I would like to have flexibility of using dGPU for specific applications. @vgaetera any way I can achieve that without facing the previously mentioned issues?

@vgaetera thanks for the help so far

For the record, i have a Dell notebook with nvidia and fully functioning nvidia card, and i get the same error if I leave off the preceding “__” from the command you entered. Try “__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxgears”
