11.0, 11.2 & 11.3's X works fine on this system with unused onboard 6100 VGA port and LCD-connected PCI slot 8400 DVI port, although 11.3 requires nomodeset on cmdline.
I put current Factory/M2 on too. With nomodeset everything's fine as long as I don't try X, as the consoles turn black after init proceeds into 5 for a time, then the system locks up trying to get KDE going, at just past halfway on the progress bar. Without nomodeset, when the kernel wrests control from the BIOS, the LCD screen turns black. If I connect a VGA cable to an extra CRT and the onboard video, the consoles are functional. Is there something that could be put on cmdline to make X and consoles both work on a DVI cable connected to the LCD, with or without using nomodeset?

The only nvidia driver that supports KMS is nouveau. Nv doesn't support KMS, and it is dead anyway. The nvidia blob also doesn't support KMS.
