Really?  All those source files and the only thing they do is remove 2
lines?  I tried using nano to remove the 2 lines you note and recompiled
the drivers.  Now when x windows starts it crashes my whole ubuntu.  I
logged into terminal to try and delete the bad drivers but when I use cd
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers it says that directory doesn't exist.  ls
shows the whole /usr/lib/ directory is different than the last time I
looked at it.  Where did all my files go?

Actually I do have xserver-xorg-dev installed just not version 1.7.6.901
which is the requirement.  I have the latest version installed which is
all that apt-get will give me the option to install.  I have no idea
where to get the version I need for the package.
