Thanks. I think I'm taking a vacation from working on my Linux setup until
I get the external modem I ordered in the mail.

I tried your suggestion. Actually, I had to use a 3.3.6 X server with my
video chipset, and the XF86Config generated by 3.3.6's XF86Setup din't even
have a module section. I added the module section from the default 4.3.0
XF86Config, and with a minor change (remove the subsection), 3.3.6 didn't
report any errors reading it. However, still no GL support.

I appreciate your suggestion.

Thanks
Asa
