Ok, that's weird.. by comparison with where x.org *had* modules called
that.

I've given up for now; I yanked Xorg and went back to Xfree 4.3.99.1
from 9.1 with the ATI 3.9.0 drivers.  I've got a slight stutter
problem, but at least it plays.  I'll wait til my SAF goes non-negative
again before screwing around further.  But thanks for the help, any road.
