I've been trying to use the RECORD extension, which provides access to ALL
input events in a simple way.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to load the
RECORD extension.  I have added the line

Load "record"

to my xorg.conf, and my Xorg.0.log now shows a line

(II) Loading extension RECORD

but xdpyinfo doesn't show RECORD in its list of loaded extensions.

Why won't Record load?
