I'm somewhat reluctant to press on with an extremely tentative
suggestion, since I've no evidence to indicate that this is the problem
here, but harking back to my own experience what you guys are listing
are the dynamically loaded server extensions. My original problem was
resolved by noting the compiled in extensions (or lack thereof). On my
current system:
(II) Initializing built-in extension Generic Event Extension
(II) Initializing built-in extension SHAPE
(II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM
(II) Initializing built-in extension XInputExtension
(II) Initializing built-in extension XTEST
(II) Initializing built-in extension BIG-REQUESTS
(II) Initializing built-in extension SYNC
(II) Initializing built-in extension XKEYBOARD
(II) Initializing built-in extension XC-MISC
(II) Initializing built-in extension SECURITY
(II) Initializing built-in extension XINERAMA
(II) Initializing built-in extension XFIXES
(II) Initializing built-in extension XFree86-Bigfont
(II) Initializing built-in extension RENDER
(II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR
(II) Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE
(II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE
(II) Initializing extension GLX
From memory, I'd somehow acquired a setup lacking the built-in Composite
extension, that also did not get loaded dynamically. No reason to think
that's specifically the problem here, but maybe its worth comparing the
built-in extensions too!

Thanks for that. I'll take a more detailed look through the Xorg log
later and see if there are any clues. But thats a bit like looking

Simple grep on the new system
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(II) Loading extension XFree86-VidModeExtension
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DGA
(II) Loading extension DPMS
(II) Loading extension XVideo
(II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation
(II) Loading extension X-Resource
(II) Loading extension DOUBLE-BUFFER
(II) Loading extension GLX
(II) Loading extension RECORD
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
(II) Loading extension DRI2
Just for comparison purposes here's what I get:
(II) Loading extension GLX
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(II) Loading extension XFree86-VidModeExtension
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DGA
(II) Loading extension DPMS
(II) Loading extension XVideo
(II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation
(II) Loading extension X-Resource
(II) Loading extension DOUBLE-BUFFER
(II) Loading extension RECORD
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI
(II) Loading extension DRI2
(II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI
(II) Loading extension FGLRXEXTENSION
(II) Loading extension GLESX
(II) Loading extension AMDXVOPL
(II) Loading extension AMDXVBA
Looks more or less the same like as with your system,
just with a few additional ones probably for my AMD
Radeon graphics card.
Best regards, Jens
