Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0"

Trying to run serious sam on my pc. It fails on start with

Xlib:  extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0"

From google I've learnt that XFree86-Misc is provided by extmod but in Xorg.0.log I have this:

...
(II) LoadModule: "extmod"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libextmod.so
(II) Module extmod: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.6.1, module version = 1.0.0
        Module class: X.Org Server Extension
        ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 2.0
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(II) Loading extension XFree86-VidModeExtension
(II) Loading extension XFree86-DGA
(II) Loading extension DPMS
(II) Loading extension XVideo
(II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation
(II) Loading extension X-Resource
(II) LoadModule: "dbe"
...

So question is how to load XF86-Misc?

There is a difference between XF86-misc and XC-misc. The Arch xorg-server does not seem to come with the former. For me, "xset r rate 200 20" fails with this error.

On my desktop workstation xset r rate 250 150 works fine
On my laptop it also works but produces the  'Xlib:  extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0"' message

Works as in the xset command does as it should, it changes the rate and delay.

Re: Xlib: extension "XFree86-Misc" missing on display ":0.0"

according to the Xorg people it's deprecated (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/x … 36998.html), and it doesn't seem to affect anything else (including xset, despite the warning message), are you sure it's not something else that's failing?
