Adding this hunk makes it work for me:

--- a/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Helper.c
+++ b/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Helper.c
@@ -1486,6 +1486,8 @@ xf86MatchDevice(const char *drivername, GDevPtr **sectlist)
     if (sectlist)
        *sectlist = NULL;

+    if (xf86DoModalias) return 0;
+
     if (xf86DoProbe) return 1;

     if (xf86DoConfigure && xf86DoConfigurePass1) return 1;
