You ought to see some symlinks.  You should see (approximately) one 
card%d and one controlD%d for every video card you have installed; in 
addition, if you've not disabled modesetting, you should also see 
symlinks for each output.

I'm sorry, I don't believe know what your goal is.  All you've said so 
far is that you used to do this thing, and that now it doesn't work the 
way it used to.  I don't think I caught _why_ you were doing that thing.
