I didn't have either module loaded. For the record, just plain Load "glx" alone was enough to solve the problem. I had removed both of these Load commands when I upgraded from XFree86 to Xorg, and I thought maybe I didn't need them anymore, since the example xorg.conf file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg does not indicate loading these modules. Then, I forgot that I'd removed them... Thanks again! AMP
