For nvidia, these need to be all disabled. Then it should work.
I had a previous thread re Kernel 4.9.0 + Nvidia 375.26 (now stable).
I tried recompiling that kernel with DRM disabled,
& remerged Nvidia 375.26 , but X won't start.
The nvidia driver isn't "automatic". It's not used by X.Org by default.
X.Org only uses its own drivers by default.
For the nvidia driver, you need a conf file. Something like this in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf:

The nvidia driver has a tool to help with this too, it's called
`nvidia-xconfig`.
Which creates a global config IIRC. It's better to use a xorg.conf.d
file instead of a global one. Let X.Org do auto-configuration for
everything else, and just use xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf for the nvidia
driver only.
