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

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

Normally, of course, the package configuration system should handle all
of this.  My vague impression is there is not necessarily an external
file that must correspond to every module loaded; some may be internal.

Have you tried:

	(1) commenting out module lines that aren't loading
	(2) find /usr/x11R6 -iname \*whatever_you're_looking_for\*

?

Finally, failure to load modules shouldn't stop X from starting. You're
problem is "no screens found" which may be separate.
