I agree. That is what was happening to me. I did no make the test
again because there is no 9746 driver for 2.6.20, and in this case, 9755
is alone in the kernel and is loaded appropriately. But I could have booted
using an older kernel to make the test again. However, I just not did it
yet.

I just would like to add that /etc/ld.so.conf was also correct and all the
symbolic links in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/, as far as I remember.

Maybe something has changed in recent kernels?
