You seem to be getting errors loading a few other modules as well.

Perhaps you need to define the ModulePath in /etc/X11/XF86Config (in
the Files section) - I'd guess you need:

  ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules:/usr/X11R6/lib"
  
or, since it seems quite happy to search subdirectories of the module
path, just:

  ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib"

As to _why_ these modules are in /usr/X11R6/lib and not in
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules, though, I have no idea...
