How did you add the extensions, as simply installing the library packages will not enable the X extensions, your graphics driver has to support those.

What graphics driver and chip do you use, and what desktop environment?
Please show the output of
Code: Select all
grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log
lspcidrake -v | grep VGA
Cauldron is not for the faint of heart!
Caution: Hot, bubbling magic inside. May explode or cook your kittens!
