The X.Org code base has no kernel modules, as it's user-space code portable to
a range of OS'es, including Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X, Windows, etc.

Kernel code for graphics is mainly handled via the related DRI project, which
has it's own webpages & mailing lists hosted at http://dri.freedesktop.org/
(though at this very moment, they're down like the rest of the freedesktop.org
 web sites, while the admins try to undo years of spam damage that had left
 the webservers highly unstable, but should be back up later today).
