	Yeah, you're right; creating a new one would have been the most
	logical thing.  But at least I learned that the "modules" have
	been moved to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules.  I did a wholesale
	1,$s/X11R6/local/gp and that failed because the old path was
	/usr/X11R6/lib/modules.      

	I'll know if this works in the morning localtime.  My brain is
	fried.
