    It seems all the files are configured properly, have you run modules-update , env-update, and restarted your X, sounds kinda petty, but wanan check that first before we move on....

    Change the RgbPath (in Section "Files") to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb. This is where it is located by default, IIRC.

    I had this same problem, check if you've got libglx.a in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/? If not, copy it over there and try to restart X..
