In addition to what the other responders have said: the first thing that
sprang to my mind when I saw this was the question "Have you restarted X
yet?". In my experience, a number of GL-related things are initialized
when X is started, and changing the underlying files won't have a
visible effect while the same X is still running.

Making certain that the relevant modules, if any, are inserted would
also be a good idea (see 'lsmod').
