There's a lot missing in the portage version of the driver - it
doesn't even (at least last I checked) install nvidia-ml.so unless
you're using X.  I suspect your weren't getting libnvoptix installed
from portage, which was meaning OptiX won't work.

I don't really care for the `.run` version of the drivers, and prefer
to keep everything as an ebuild.  I have my hacked up ebuild at
https://github.com/ScottESanDiego/scotterepo/tree/master/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
if you wanted to just steal that (it's largely just the original
ebuild, but installing extra "stuff" so that nvidia-smi works
headless, nvidia-docker works, etc.
