Hi folks,

I've got a problem with registering an additional module directory:

If I add a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/mymodule.conf saying

	Section "Files"
	    ModulePath      "/usr/lib/xorg/my-modules"
	EndSection

then the default /usr/lib/xorg/modules is not searched.

If I add a "Files" section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

	Section "Files"
	    ModulePath      "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
	EndSection

then the Files section in mymodule.conf is ignored, even though
multiple ModulePaths are allowed, according to the man page.
Writing just

	Section "Files"
	EndSection

doesn't help, either. Obviously multiple "Files" sections are
not allowed.

What would be your suggestion to get around this for n>2 ?


xorg-server is 1.7.7, as found in Squeeze. Any helpful comment
would be highly appreciated.


Regards

Harri
