10 Yes, I was worried the first time I saw them (just a few days ago) but
11 on my system they seem harmless.

25 I'd be more worried about this than the keysym errors. I have xorg-server-1.6.1.902
26 which installs these two (and of course much more):
27 /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libdri.so
28 /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libdri2.so
29
30 When I use eselect to set the opengl version to xorg-x11, it sets a symlink:
31 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so -> /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libdri.so*
32
33 If you don't have these libs and links then I'd say as your first chore you should
34 figure out why they're missing.
