Another modular X11 report

The switch to modular X on my notebook (HP ZE4201, hardware specs here: 
http://www.rexursive.com/articles/linuxonhpze4201.html) was a success, 
with a few minor details going wrong. This is what I checked:

- DRI works
- switching between X and text consoles works
- suspend/resume (with suspend2 patched 2.6.14-1.1674_FC5 kernel) works

This is what needs slight attention:

- synaptics module is in the wrong place (probably just needs a 
rebuild); symlinking the module from the old location to the new works 
around the problem
- as reported by the build system, openmotif is missing deps, which 
breaks Xpdf and third party software like Citrix ICA; I guess this will 
be rebuilt and fixed

Overall, top marks to people delivering modular X11!
