That isn't the case. The probing is done by the standard drivers.

Can you try to obtain a log file? Mount the filesystem where your
/var is with option sync, typically something like
mount -o remount,sync /var
Then try to start X. Reboot and post /var/log/XFree86.0.log here.
Also look for anomalies in the kernel logs.
