Thanks for replying, Corbin. Unfortunately, I haven't got the technical knowledge to understand your reply.
Could I just ask this? Right now, the log tells me that "ModulePath [is] set to '/usr/lib/X11/modules'". There's a Modules section in my xorg.conf file that lists five modules, "extmod", "dbe", "glx", "freetype" and "dri". Four of those are in /usr/lib/X11/modules/extensions, while one is in /usr/lib/X11/modules/fonts. The file mach64_dri.so is in /usr/lib/dri. Is there any chance that I could copy /dri/mach64_dri.so to /usr/lib/X11/modules and then add the file's name to the Modules section in my xorg.conf file? Or was your reply telling me in effect that that's what I can't do?
