This is a dual graphics laptop.  It has a Nvidia g210m and a intel x4500. 
Nouveau KMS is enabled via the kernel staging drivers and Intel KMS is disabled
via the kernel. The nouveau module is loading by default.  

When I boot my computer, the Kernel modeset never actually happens.  I have the
December nouveau firmware package installed, but I get error messages.


Here is the error messages
