Good suggestion, Brian.   Here's the Module Section from my XF86Config.
Which candidates would you suggest for deletion?

Section "Module"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "xtrap"
        Load  "speedo"
        Load  "type1"
EndSection
