So far everything is up-and-running with the beta drivers. If I find a  
problem I will report it.

The first question is how can I set nvidia-drm modeset=1 at boot time. I  
tried /etc/modules-load.d/nvidia.conf but systemd-modules-load reports on  
boot:
kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  364.12  Wed Mar 16  
21:11:26 PDT 2016
systemd-modules-load[183]: Failed to find module 'nvidia_drm modeset=1'

Thanks

PS. Is the name of the module nvidia-drm or nvidia_drm?
modprobe nvidia-drm modeset=1
lsmod | grep drm
nvidia_drm             45056  1
drm_kms_helper        135168  1 nvidia_drm
nvidia_modeset        753664  8 nvidia_drm
drm                   356352  4 drm_kms_helper,nvidia_drm
