firefox3 still doesn't work properly and hits me when starting with this
error message:

Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".



Looks like libraries (Xext among others) already support the XGE extension:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg/36483

but the current the 1.5 Xorg server does not support and the 1.6 release 
is behind schedule a bit:

I keep getting this error after upgrade of X today but everything works 
as usual.



Then firefox3 freezes forever, showing something like the background or
pixel remnants of windows/picograms moving over its window.


The firefox problem is unrelated I think to the message above (as 
demonstrated later in the thred)
