Here's mine:

Section "Module"
    Load        "dbe"
    Load        "extmod"
    Load        "type1"
    Load        "freetype"
    Load        "glx"
EndSection

AFAIR that's none of the modules jingai has unresolved symbols from?


This part of the log is interesting:

(II) LoadModule: "r128"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o
(II) Module r128: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 4.0.1
        Module class: XFree86 Video Driver
        ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.3
(II) LoadModule: "ati"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ati_drv.o
(II) Module ati: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 6.2.3
        Module class: XFree86 Video Driver
        ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.3
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/mouse_drv.o
(II) Module mouse: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
        Module class: XFree86 XInput Driver
        ABI class: XFree86 XInput driver, version 0.1
(II) ATI: ATI driver (version 6.2.3) for chipsets: ati
(II) R128: Driver for ATI Rage 128 chipsets: ATI Rage 128 RE (PCI),


It does in fact first load the r128 module and then the ati one.
