bbswitch turn GPU off too fast

[pawell45]

Hello guys, first I have to thank you for this whole project (you are just AWESOME).

However, some applications can't be started normally just by optirun program.

I think the problem is that bbswitch kills GPU before the application even have chance to start using it. I encountered this problem with Counter Strike 1.6. When I run it normally:

XIO: fatal IO error 11 (The resource is temporarily unavailable) on X server ":8"
after 120 requests (120 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Then the game just die 1 second after start.

However I am able to run it with this:

1. Start some other program working with OPTIRUN command.
2. Minimize it
3. Start Counter Strike
4. Play :-D

When I do it this way, it works (Intel ~ 29 FPS | Nvidia ~ 90 FPS) and as long as the program from 1) is running in background the game is working.

The solution IMHO is just to add some parameter (or command) to force GPU on manually to solve this in nice way.
