  3. nvidiactl: Load nvidia-drm Linux kernel module 

    From `nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf` shipped by the NVIDIA Installer.

> This xorg.conf.d configuration snippet configures the X server to
> automatically load the nvidia X driver when it detects a device driven
> by the nvidia-drm.ko kernel module.  Please note that this only works
> on Linux kernels version 3.9 or higher with CONFIG_DRM enabled, and
> only if the nvidia-drm.ko kernel module is loaded before the X server
> is started.

Therefore load that Linux Kernel module so that the configuration works
automatically.

From Aaron Plattner in #nvidia@irc.freenode.net:

> 16:31 < aaronp> PaulePanter, by default, nvidia-drm.ko provides the X
>       auto-load behavior and also assists in wiring up PRIME
>       configurations to the integrated GPU's display.
> 16:31 < aaronp> If you load it with the 'modeset=1' parameter, then it
>       provides a complete drm driver that can be used by drm/eglstream
>       clients such as mutter or patched versions of weston.
