I have libraries /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.so and /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libpcidata.so , but they seem not to work.

the modules are not in the ModulePath

be more specific
are you attempting to transition to a new X?
what were you doing when it stopped working?

Thanks for reply, but I figured it myself already) Module path init used was wrong, so I solved it by creating symlink /usr/X11/lib/xorg/modules to /usr/X11/lib/modules.
