Building with clang is broken due to nouveau code which is still in
the dri port. Maybe this should also be removed/disabled.
Also, I was still using hald, and xorg was segfaulting with it enabled
(when adding some device, x0861 or something). I recompiled without
it.
All seems well with NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 3800M (G92GL), using
nvidia-driver-285.05.09 despite seeing this in Xorg.0.log:
[ 47.183] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module;
please check in your X
[ 47.183] (EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been
loaded in your X
[ 47.183] (EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the
NVIDIA GLX module. If
[ 47.183] (EE) NVIDIA(0): you continue to encounter problems, Please try
[ 47.183] (EE) NVIDIA(0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
