I just checked to log file and found:
[22.361] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 0
[22.361] (II) LoadModule: "modesetting"
[22.361] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so
[22.371] (II) Module modesetting: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[22.371] (II) modesetting: Driver for Modesetting Kernel Drivers: kms
Does this not mean the modesetting driver /is/ loaded or am I missing something?
