    Thanks Jonathan, that solved it! I didn't have either
    module loaded.

    For the record, just plain Load "glx" alone was enough
    to solve the problem. I had removed both of these Load
    commands when I upgraded from XFree86 to Xorg, and
    I thought maybe I didn't need them anymore, since the
    example xorg.conf file
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg does not indicate loading
    these modules. Then, I forgot that I'd removed them...

    Thanks again!
