-- "Nouveau pour les nouveaux" as I would say in my native language. --

Hello=2C
After all the work some devs did with nouveau support for NetBSD. I wanted =
to give it a try and see by myself.

First point=2C the nVidia graphic card support out of the box : In the past=
=2C I tried NetBSD on my laptop running a nVidia GTX 765m and I never succe=
ed to start X at that time=2C whatever I was trying.

Today=2C vesa driver is perfectly running on my laptop offering me 1024x768=
 resolution (not higher) on a 1920x1080 monitor and when I try to use nouve=
au=2C I simply have [drm] KMS not enabled.

My question is : Is it simply because I always build xorg from pkgsrc inste=
ad of using xsrc (I still didn't try with xsrc) ? Isn't it actually possibl=
e to run nouveau with modular xorg ? Or is it because I need to load KMS in=
 the kernel ?

It would be great to explain in details how to use nouveau for people who w=
ere waiting for this and are not familiar with NetBSD yet so more people co=
uld try and send feedback to help improving NetBSD :)

And=2C sincerely=2C thank you for your amazing work=2C guys=2C nouveau was =
an important point for me.
