commit 2e34d11541e1f987c7ca0556592cb16f4d232299

nouveau: enable support for normal optimus configuration

nvd7 has no display engine, only enable sink output capability if there
is a crtc.

drmmode doesn't work without crtc's, so prevent crashes by skipping the
drmmode code in that case.

This patch is available in xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.8, which is currently
available in the development version of Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander"

Title:
  No HDMI through NVIDIA graphics card with hybrid Linux

Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This computer is a Dell Latitude E-series (E6420) and I have been
  unable to get HDMI working through to a second display monitor. The
  monitor swithces back and forth between recognizing that it's
  connected to something and not, while the laptop (running Ubuntu
  11.10, Oneiric Ocelot) sees nothing in the monitor pane of the display
  panel. This computer has optimus graphics and is using bumblebee for
  switchable graphics.
