I have had similar issues on FC6 and beyond.  The default xorg.conf
file does not have a modules section.  It is determining what to
load by other means.  When I added the section with just a 
module vnc statement, it dropped loading some other modules which 
caused errors.  My workaround was to scan the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
to see what modules were loaded and then put them in the modules
section.  The operation is still a bit flakey.  It does not work
as well as it did in fc2-fc5.  I get a lot of screen artifacts.

I raised this question on both this list and the Xorg list with
no usable results.  Maybe I will try the VNC list.  There is
a related bugzilla, but it has not gone anywhere.
