Question

I'm trying to use the new feature of the android avd features "GPU emulation - yes" It's needed to use GLES2.0 on the emulator. However, when I turn that on, the screen of the emulator goes blank. Here is the output when I call it from command line.

For those having the same problem and having a nvidia card with optimus... Just install ironhide!

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mj-casalogic/ironhide
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install ironhide

Then follow the instructions and reboot! Magic happens! But it's hard sometimes!
