Looking at your /var/log/XFree86.0.log you should see something like:

(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libextmod.a
(II) Module extmod: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
        Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
        ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1
(II) Loading extension SHAPE
(II) Loading extension MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD
(II) Loading extension BIG-REQUESTS
(II) Loading extension SYNC
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(II) Loading extension XC-MISC
(II) Loading extension XFree86-VidModeExtension
(II) Loading extension XFree86-Misc
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DGA
(II) Loading extension DPMS
(II) Loading extension FontCache
(II) Loading extension TOG-CUP
(II) Loading extension Extended-Visual-Information
(II) Loading extension XVideo

See if it is there. Verify that the correct config file is used by
exmining the top of the log file, I have:

(==) Using config file: "//XF86Config"

which, for me, is really a link:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Apr 14 09:19 /XF86Config-4 ->
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
