I've uploaded a Xorg-modules.tar.bz2 to the snapshots/extras dir. It
contains all (strip -g) modules except the ones included in the binary
snapshots (libGLcore.a, libglx.a, libdri.a, all 2D and 3D drivers).
David, could you give it a try? Proceed as follows:
<uninstall common and card-specifc snapshots>
cd /usr/X11R6/lib
mv modules modules.backup
tar -tjf ~/Xorg-modules.tar.bz2
<reinstall common and card-specific snapshots>
If this works I'll update the snapshot installation instructions and add
a README.Xorg in the extras dir.
Regards,
Felix
