Unfortunately I can't, it build successfully for me when applied on top
of
6f3ede9ae2b2268181ebc0ca3764d865bd06bd63. You probably just need to
clean
your Guix repository and rebuild it from scratch

I think it should work without gexp/ungexp and the "\n".

AFAIU it's not possible because service extensions are generated at
build time,
not run time so you can't extend KMCS with a value generated when your
service
is executed. It is a limitation of the service extension paradigm.
A kind of dirty way to achieve what you want would be for KMCS' options
field
to accept an arbitrary configuration path that will be symlinked to,
like
“(options "/var/run/uvesafb/uvesafb.conf")”. That way from uvesafb
service
you generate that modprobe configuration file at run time (before KMCS)
and
so when KMCS run modprobe it's direcotry configuration contains a
symlink
named "uvesafb.conf" which point to "/var/run/uvesafb/uvesafb.conf". But
it doesn't seems Guixy to me.
