I had the same problem, but with a Lenovo T410. First it was possible to simply switch off Optimus and choose one graphic card manually. This worked great with the nvidia driver, but after a BIOS update the options vanished. In the end I try different things then and the only one that seems to work was to install the newest nvidia driver from their homepage and select the graphic card with the BusID option in the xorg.conf file. So far it's working great with high performance, as usual with the nvidia driver, on FreeBSD 8.2-RC1 amd64. One drawback is the increasing power consumption, but still it runs more than 4 hours.
