Next, uncomment Section Module and, a few lines down, the EndSection Add the following lines before the EndSection: Load pex5.so Load xie.so The whole section should look something vaguely like this: [clip here] ModulePath /usr/X11R6/lib/modules EndSection # ** # Module section -- this is an optional section which is used to specify # which dynamically loadable modules to load.
