[PATCH] xfree86: add nouveau as the first automatic driver for NVIDIA hardware

Add nouveau as the first driver on Linux for NVIDIA hardware when
driver autoconfiguration is done, as it is more capable than nv.

nv is also kept in the list as it is more widely supported and because
some old cards are not supported by nouveau.
