I hope this is nothing serious? And it feels a bit hackish indeed..
I get that error too on this command and when trying to use "alock" screen locker.
I get this error as well.
Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0".
Is it caused by using 'xset r rate 200 40 &' in my .xinitrc ?

Interesting. I found a site that said that it's fixed in evdev 2.2.1, which I'm running. I removed the line out of .xinitrc and started X. It changed nothing. I guess we'll just have to wait.

That's a great question that I don't have an answer for. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I will jump in.

Strange. My system isn't loading XFree86-Misc and I'm not seeing this message:
xdpyinfo | grep -i misc
XC-MISC
