Kernel mode setting is enabled by default when you select the nouveau driver in you kernel config. With some drivers (eg the radeon ati one) you get a choice whether top have KMS enabled by default, but even then you can enable or disable it with a kernel command line option. KMS is incompatible with the Nvidia binary blob. > LOL. And you think the binary nvidia install is hard! Yes, I've always found the Nvidia driver to be a PITA because it makes recompiling the kernel much more compilcated.
