Try 'disable nouveau'. In the past I also had to 'disable genfb' on my Intel/NVidia Optimus laptop. Now it works - with intel drm, still without 3D accelleration - without disabling anything.
I have another laptop with only radeonfb, a FireGL mobile card, which otherwise should have worked, but any attempt to use it hard-restes the laptop, so I have 'userconf=disable radeon*' in /boot.cfg .
