[Linux-disciples] X.org stops working after upgrade

[Stephen R Laniel]

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains a 'Module' section (below).
Where does X establish the correspondence between reasonably
human-readable module names like 'GLcore' and a file in
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules? Is it just a straightforward
built-in translation, where module 'foo' corresponds to
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libfoo.a?

It can't be a totally straightforward translation, it seems
to me, because we have lines like this in
/var/log/XFree86.0.log:

(II) LoadModule: "GLcore"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a

So maybe there's a path that X searches for modules, and
both 'modules/extensions' and 'modules' are in that path?

I ask because I'm trying to track down the keyboard module,
and which file X is looking for. I wonder if some file
somewhere is pointing to the wrong module file.

Just fumbling around. This stuff is basically all new to me.

Section "Module"
	Load	"GLcore"
	Load	"bitmap"
	Load	"dbe"
	Load	"ddc"
	Load	"dri"
	Load	"extmod"
	Load	"freetype"
	Load	"glx"
	Load	"int10"
	Load	"record"
	Load	"speedo"
	Load	"type1"
	Load	"v4l"
	Load	"vbe"
EndSection
