[plug] Changing X drivers?

Ok, simple question, but that subject wasn't overly
helpful, so...
I changed my "driver" line in /etc/X11/XF86Config
(RH6.2) from "svga" to "s3_generic" (for a S3
Trio 3D/2X).
Now, when I run X as root, it's fine, but if I do it
as a normal user (including, it seems, runlevel 5), it
comes back with:
[snip standard stuff]
Config Error: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config:364
Driver "s3_generic"
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not a recognized driver name
(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config is symlinked to
/etc/X11/XF86Config)
Is there somewhere else that the driver is defined?
The permissions on things like /usr/X11R6/bin/XF_* all
seem normal (755).
Anyone seen this before?
TIA
Andrew
