They nearly worked out of the box, for me.

First I had to undo my local hacks to use /usr/local/X11R6-DRI, but
that's not your problem ;-)

However, even with all that done, glxinfo (for example) wasn't finding 
the modules, and it was definitely not running accelerated:

jules@pear [17] LIBGL_DEBUG=1 glxinfo 
libGL error: dlopen failed: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libGL error: dlopen failed: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/tdfx_dri.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
display: :0.0  screen:0
direct rendering: No

A working workaround for me is to ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri to
../modules-dri/dri. It looks like the ModulePath things aren't doing their job:

Section "Files"
        FontPath        "unix/:7100"                    # local font server
        # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
        ModulePath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules-dri"
        ModulePath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
EndSection

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
