Supposedly it's an API break between the kernel and libdrm:

"Nouveau DRM in kernel 2.6.33 is API incompatible to
>=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.18, please use x11-base/nouveau-drm instead."

According to ebuild dependencies and messages, my combination of
xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.15_pre20100213 and x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.18_pre
should work.  I get this same error no matter what combination of
libdrm, xf86-video-nouveau, and nouveau-firmware I try, and whether or
not I have CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=y.  This makes me think it's not related
to the API break:

(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) [drm] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol
(EE) No devices detected.

Google says the error can be due to disabling dri in xorg.conf, but I
don't have anything like that.  Should CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=y include
the dri or dri2 module?
