I converted nouveau to a kernel module:
$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
nouveau 579746 -2
cfbfillrect 12485 -2
cfbimgblt 12313 -2
cfbcopyarea 12313 -2
drm_kms_helper 27209 -2
ttm 57762 -2
switched the kwinrc to OpenGL, ran startx. KDE loaded (I saw the
splash screen and heard the startup noise) but then nothing was shown
on the desktop (so I couldnt run glxinfo as I couldnt see anything)
Ive attached Xorg.0.log and xsession-errors herein. Bad.tgz has
versions of these files from OpenGL whereas good.tgz has versions from
XRender.
FWIW, the only 'EE' in the Xorg log is missing 'fb' and 'vesa' modules
Also I do not have an xorg.conf if that makes a difference
