Hi,  just install it, add yourself to the bumblebee group, and do:
eselect opengl set nvidia,
eselect opencl set nvidia.
To run a program using the nvidia card, start it with the optirun
command, see man optirun for more info.

Ah, you need to start the bumblebee server too.

You'll have to run "eselect opengl list"
It will show some options (at least one) with a number.
Afterwards "eselect opengl set <number> should work... ;)

First of all I'd ask you not to "top-post", because it's consenus on
this list to do "bottom-posting".

Are you using the bumblebee overlay? According to
http://bugs.sabayon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3178
There seems to be a fix for that issue in it. At least the
bug-reporter has the same issue and is directed to that overlay to get
a fix.
(Just for Info: Sabayon is a precompiled binary version of Gentoo so
it's a relevant hint, though it's from another distro - just if you
didn't know).

Then I'd suggest you should try out the overlay - the bug from sabayon
is a little bit older, but since it's the same error, I think it'S a
goot start...
