For new enough X servers, that's right.  OTOH, it remains an easy way to
express preferences and for testing.(*)

I did not see anything about "nouveau" in your log file, hence my
suggestion to give that hint in the xorg.conf.

particular version yielded the highest performance for my Radeon card
without depending on non-free firmware.  xorg.conf was very handy in
this situation.
