That's the kernel/device driver, on which X/display drivers depend, and which
lsmod would show.

The in-use X/display driver:

Available, but not in-use, X/display drivers:

Unloaded X/display could have listed also nouveau, but didn't because
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau was not installed.
Modesetting is the default X/display driver, which generally will not be used if
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is installed. Modesetting is newer technology than
the
reverse-engineered xserver-xorg-video-nouveau.
Which "nouveau" did you determine to be not ready for a >3 year old P400?
