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?
Sorry, I missed your message.
By "not ready" I meant an incomprehensible jumble which I didn't note in detail.
I now suspect that the Quadro P400 card has problems, but I don't have a second
card to substitute as a test.
Currently installed:
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.17-1
libdrm-nouveau2 2.4.104-1
