           Summary: xf86-video-nouveau fails to modprobe nouveau: KMS not
                    enabled
        QA Contact: xorg-team-go0+a7rfsptAfugRpC6u6w@public.gmane.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: hkmaly-jG/AHqQBv7lBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Driver/nouveau
           Product: xorg

When nouveau kernel module is build as module and not inserted manually, X
server won't start with message "[drm] KMS not enabled".

Older versions (like xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16) didn't have that problem.

Reason is in function NVHasKMS, where you FIRST call
drmCheckModesettingSupported and THEN nouveau_device_open, meaning
drmCheckModesettingSupported will fail.

When the calls are switched, nouveau_device_open will call modprobe and insert
the nouveau module, so later drmCheckModesettingSupported works correctly.
