I'm having Darryl's problem, and have gained more insight. I went
through the `Section "Module"' of my XF86Config-4 file and commented
out one module at a time until it worked. Not loading the extmod
module prevented X from crashing. But SHAPE, XVideo and probably
other extension are also lost. While shape is just vanity, the XVideo
extension seems useful for xine, but it at least plays. When running
gxine I now get:
Xlib: extension "XVideo" missing on display ":0.0".
I'm willing to file a Debian bug report if one isn't already filed,
but what package? I guess xserver-xfree86 or libxine1?
