...because I've been curious about them for a while, but have never been able to find a readable description on the web. Some of the modules are obviously for fonts, like "type1," and I know that some of them, like "dri," are for hardware acceleration. But what about "extmod," "pex5," "dbe," and "record"? I kind of gather that they have something to do implementing extensions specified by the X Consortium, but are they really necessary? Nothing seemed to immediately break on my machine when I commented out everything but the font modules and "extmod," which was described somewhere as mostly necessary. The difference was about 4MB in resident mem size, which is nothing on my current machine, but may be significant elsewhere. Any X programmers out there want to clue me in?
