With modular Xorg, do you still need to re-build your video drivers
after every time you re-compile a kernel?
Just wondering...

You have to rebuild those drivers that have been obtained outside the
"standard" kernel source tree. This applies to all types of drivers,
not only video drivers, for example:
ati-drivers (video)
nvidia-drivers (video)
ipw2100 (wireless)
ivtv (pvr card)
This is is independent from modular X.

better yet - get a habbit of using "module-rebuild" every time after
you run "genkernel" ;)
