X doesn't search /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules by default?

Thank you (and Alan too).

If I wanted it in /usr/lib64 I would (as you suggest) modify the fedora
package, because otherwise... ick! ;-)

I see your point why searching /usr/local by default might be left up to
distros.  I just asked because its a (minor) hurdle for potential
contributors.  Surely there are lots of people who might be cloning one
module but wanting to run the rest of X from their distro.  But anyway,
its not a big deal.

cheers,
Colin
