Interesting -- I just did my comprehensive upgrade, as a part of which
xorg-server went from 1.5.3_1,1 to 1.5.3_2,1.
And this is what I see now, for the first time, and consistently:
----------------------------------------
$ xterm&
[3] 12585
$ emacs &
[4] 12644
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
----------------------------------------
The garbage still pollutes my windows periodically, so, I guess, my
next xorg-server will be 1.4.
For reference, my system is:
i386 FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE Sun Jan 25 06:28:38 EST 2009
It not being CURRENT, I took the liberty of cc: freebsd-ports at freebsd.org.
