modules are usually kept in /lib/modules/[KERNEL_VERSION]/
if kernel is looking for it at boot time and it isn't there then check
/etc/modules to see if it is trying to load it.

have you edited the /etc/X11/XF86Config file - or run a config app like XF86Setup
to tell it to start in 16bit colour by default? I've got an s3virge card

add a dir to your ld_library_path with:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/foo/bar
or add a line to your /etc/ld.so.conf file.
