Aha. Maybe they have something to do with kde. When I try to run kde without those modules, the X server dies with a bunch of unresolved GL errors. Oh well, back to the drawing board. At least I can run X now. When I put the modules back and try to run X, I get the error ... (II) LoadModule: "dri" (II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a (II) UnloadModule: "dri" (EE) SUNFFB: Failed to load module "dri" (once-only module, 0) (II) ... unloading a bunch of modules (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration Fatal server error: no screens found Indeed, looking further back in the list of module loads, I find that dri has been loaded earlier. The error log snippet above seems to be part of the ramdac module being loaded. /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a Can I influence this module loading? I assume these are X server "modules" and not kernel modules.
