Hello; thanks for the feedback, from previous posts, you know what module I'm talking about, So with that in mind I'm going to go to the next question: From error messages "there isn't" the only leeway or light at the end of the tunnel I see is with libdri.so i.g. If I boot the system up with out messing with anything I will receive a black screen after issueing startx, (from looking at what I see, the screen will flash one time then black, it should flash or blink two times before giving me my lovely picture(wallpaper) then if I remove libdri.so everything starts up as usual so with that in mind since I received a post about DRI being all F*&^ked up then maybee that is the culprit, I think All I really need right now is info on the xserver and the kernel. What mechanisms are used or files that are responsible for the two too coexist. regards;
