This is the double buffer extension. No it's not strictly
required. The X screensavers will use it if available but they
can work without it.

The server will run without it but it has alot of stuff in it
that most people want, such as the shape extension (in case you
want to have windows that aren't rectangular) or the shared
memory extension (in case you actually want to have resonable
performance displaying images or video).

I think this is required. This is support for the most basic font
rendering.

You need an int10 module. There are two: libint10.a and linux/libint10.a.
On Linux, the Linux one works better.

I depends what graphics hardware you're using and what you want
to do with it. What you're doing currently is making the disk
footprint as small as possible. Is that what you wanted to do
or are you more concerned with memory footprint? Deleting unused
modules is going to have no impact on your memory footprint.
Mark.
