Compiling it as a module seems to work fine. When I do so, no regression is
obvious from what gets reported in "dmesg". However, somehow I now do get
some output: The last message I see is

[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: allocated 1680x1050, fb 0x40.... b0 <some pointer value>

Then, nothing more. However, it really is quite strange why this error only
appears in the CONFIG_NOUVEAU=y case, not in the =m case...

Best,
Dominik
