Note that the utility to enable/disable the binary module no longer
works for FC6 where the Modules section isn't in xorg.conf anymore.

I really don't know what the best solution is here...
1) Edit xorg.conf to add all modules minus dri and GLcore
2) Edit xorg.conf to set a different ModulePath, which would contain
symlinks to all existing modules except dri and GLcore (hmmm, would
break when installing a new module...)
3) Find a way to "blacklist" the dri and GLcore modules

I don't have any more ideas for now... the 3rd is the one I'd prefer,
but I don't think it's possible to do in a clean way.
