xie - I'm not entirely certain
pex5 - this is an old 3D extension, which, AFAIK, nothing uses anymore,
preferring glx/OpenGL instead. I'm not sure why it's still hanging around.
xinerama - this is an extension which allows multiple heads to act as one
monitor.
font server - this handles some font stuff, freeing up the X server. I'm not
sure how beneficial it is on a workstation, but it's a logical way to make a
common set of fonts available to a network of machines running X.
As far as building with extended input, I can only think that this would
even apply for pex5 (and maybe xie, depending. Like I said, I'm not sure
what xie does.)
