Geesh... I *finally* found the problem. I my X log, there was a line mentioning "LoadKernelModule No such file or directory". When I started Googling for that, I finally wound up looking at some source code for XFree86. It was trying to pull the modprobe path from the file /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe which was pointing it to /sbin/modprobe. Even though I followed the LFS instructions, my modprobe wound up in /usr/sbin/modprobe (who knows, maybe I had a typo when installing module init tools). I then created a symlink for /sbin/modprobe to /usr/sbin/modprobe, and everything fired right up. Man what a journey...
