If the dual-GPU machine is labeled as Optimus, Nvidia card has no chance of
working with any version of FreeBSD right now. There should be no video
outputs on Nvidia chip at all, which only performs rendering into the
main memory to be displayed by embedded GPU pipeline.

On-CPU GPU should typically work, for some definition of 'work', but indeed
requires recent stable or head for kernel bits, and recent ports compiled
with right options for usermode bits.
