I'm no expert, but based on the above (modules located in
/usr/lib/xorg/modules) and the below, I think I know the problem.

that's where xorg is looking for the modules, but not where they are
located. I bet you had a symlink there from the xf86 upgrade that was

not loaded because it right, they don't exist, as far as xorg and the
above path are concerned.
