It does if I understand the question.  It gets the driver name from a DRI
extension protocol request to the server - the ddx driver knows which module
to load. 

The path to the driver.so is from a hardcoded default or overridden by an
environment variable - however, I kindof believe it would have made more sense
for the server to give an absolute path.
