Question xlib:extension "xfree86-misc" missing on display ":0:0"

FC6 - I keep getting this when running XScreensaver on my system. It only happens when I manually lock the screen, BUT the screensaver still comes on

I've the latest ATI fglrx drivers and am using ATI's OpenGL drivers for X.

I've already removed gnome-screensaver (its funky lockups were beginning to annoy me).

Help?

BTW, I've the latest builds (installed through Yum).

Which version of Xscreensaver are you running?

Also, what are the contents of the "Module" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? There should be some lines in that section saying "Load ...".

XScreensaver version:

xscreensaver-base-5.01-5.fc6
xscreensaver-extras-5.01-5.fc6

As for xorg.conf:

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"

fglrxinfo shows the ATI, not the Mesa drivers.

Hmm, looks like you need to load the extmod module in your xorg.conf. That should give you the XFree86-Misc extension:
Code:
Section "Module"
   Load "extmod"
   Load "glx"
   Load "dri"
EndSection
You'll have to restart the X server for that change to take effect. After doing so, check to see if you have the extensions loaded, like this: xdpyinfo | grep -i misc
You should see output like this:
XC-MISC
XFree86-Misc

By the way, if you want to use anti-aliased fonts you should load the "freetype" module in your xorg.conf, if it's not already in there.
