It is not "officially Optimus", but it works better than nothing. I got 
it working just fine just by using VirtualGL and a secondary X-server 
for nVidia.

You can't even get the nVidia and Intel GPUs to transfer data without 
having drm-prime support in the kernel (which has something to do with 
nVidia <-> Intel data transfer). Linux has drm-prime, FreeBSD doesn't. 
So there.
