This sounds like trouble with elfloader/dllloader (xorg switched the 
loader recently). If you have old modules around (.o and .a) in the 
drivers directory, you need to clean them out.
The loader should then handle these dependencies automatically, though I 
don't know what magic is involved in that :-).
