Yes this is "normal". X tries to bind to the PCI with the lowest ID, in our
case 9600M has ID=2 and 9400M has ID=3. So you will have to use BusID:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NOUVEAU"
Driver "nouveau"
BusID "PCI:03:00:0"
Screen 0
EndSection
Now if you are screening the 9400m, X should start without problem.
