load module problem with X.Org X Server 1.6.99.1

[Cliff Lawson]

Well that's a large round of virtual beers to Jerome!!

The mawk/gawk thing WAS indeed the solution to getting me a working

:-)

(sadly glxgears now looks worse than ever but that could be an xorg.conf
thing - but that's a job for another day)

any POSIX awk.
