Comment(by bernie):

 In 406.15 we loaded the following modules:

 Section "Module"
         Load  "extmod"
         Load  "freetype"
         Load  "evdev"
 EndSection

 In latest builds, we also load type1 fbdevhw and record, all of which seem
 to be useless.  I think it's save to turn them off.

 xorg.conf also supports an "Extensions" section, but we never used it in
 our builds.
 For reference, this comes from my iBook's xorg.conf:

 Section "Extensions"
         Option      "Composite" "Enable"
         Option      "RENDER" "Enable"
         Option      "XEVIE" "Disable"
 EndSection

 These are the extensions we load from extmod (can be disabled
 individually):

 {{{
 (II) Loading extension SHAPE
 (II) Loading extension MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD
 (II) Loading extension BIG-REQUESTS
 (II) Loading extension SYNC
 (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
 (II) Loading extension XC-MISC
 (II) Loading extension XFree86-VidModeExtension
 (II) Loading extension XFree86-Misc
 (II) Loading extension XFree86-DGA
 (II) Loading extension DPMS
 (II) Loading extension TOG-CUP
 (II) Loading extension Extended-Visual-Information
 (II) Loading extension XVideo
 (II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation
 (II) Loading extension X-Resource
 }}}

 These are the the builtin extensions:

 {{{
 (II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM
 (II) Initializing built-in extension XInputExtension
 (II) Initializing built-in extension XTEST
 (II) Initializing built-in extension XKEYBOARD
 (II) Initializing built-in extension XC-APPGROUP
 (II) Initializing built-in extension XAccessControlExtension
 (II) Initializing built-in extension SECURITY
 (II) Initializing built-in extension XINERAMA
 (II) Initializing built-in extension XFIXES
 (II) Initializing built-in extension XFree86-Bigfont
 (II) Initializing built-in extension RENDER
 (II) Initializing built-in extension RANDR
 (II) Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE
 (II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE
 (II) Initializing built-in extension XEVIE
 }}}
