When do these things get loaded? Is it when you start up X11? Or is it being brought in by devmatch? If it is being brought in by x11, there's likely an x11 config that you'll need to avoid them (but that will reduce functionality). If it is devmatch, then you can add them to the black list and have them not load them. Warner
