Allow OutputClass config snippets to modify the module-path.
Note that any specified ModulePaths will be pre-pended to the normal
ModulePath. The idea behind this is that any output hardware specific
modules should have preference over the normal modules.
One use-case for this is the nvidia binary driver, this allows a
config snippet like this:
Section "OutputClass"
MatchDriver "nvidia"
Modulepath "/usr/lib64/nvidia/modules"
EndSection
To get the nvidia glx specific glx module loaded, but only when the
nvidia kernel driver is loaded.
Together with the glvnd work done recently, this allows the nouveau
+ mesa and nvidia-binary userspace stacks to co-exist on the same
system without any ldconfig / xorg.conf tweaking and the xserver will
automatically do the right thing depending on which kernel driver
(nouveau or nvidia) is loaded.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
