Hi;

To be honest, my family complains that I am a lot confused.

I added the ModulePath manually -- now GLX and Compiz work.

But my main question remains, shouldn't the GLX and extensions info be
somehow added automatically?  I understood that developers where trying
to get rid of the use of xorg.conf and have Xwindows just read the info
directly , so why would something as basic as GLX and extensions require
xorg.conf?

If this is a bug or a request for enhancement, who should I file it
with; Fedora; rpmfusion; Xwindows?
