Except that doesn't solve the problem.  In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

Section "Module"
        Load    "ddc"
        Load    "GLcore"
        Load    "dbe"
        Load    "dri"
        Load    "extmod"  <== Think that enables "Shape" extension
        Load    "glx"
        Load    "pex5"
        Load    "record"
        Load    "xie"
        Load    "bitmap"
        Load    "freetype"
        Load    "speedo"
        Load    "type1"
        Load    "vbe"
        Load    "int10"
EndSection
