I had a previous thread re Kernel 4.9.0 + Nvidia 375.26 (now stable).
I tried recompiling that kernel with DRM disabled,

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:

I didn't need this with earlier versions of Nvidia-drivers,
but I've copied your template & am willing to give it a try.
It looks as if there are several lines which wouldn't fit my machine.
The file is generic. The only thing specific to me is "G2770PF", which
my monitor's model name. Which is not parsed anyway.
