In my case modesetting driver does fix all the Plasma locukps.
For dual setups, that drakx crap with XFdrake needs to be fixed, because it
will try to set up and load not existring nouveau driver...

Best option would be to prepare ISO with modesetting enabled by default, so
we can get best feedback. I'll produce it soon.
