Hi Paulo,

Of these, we need the following:


LoaderGetABIVersion
LoaderShouldIgnoreABI
miCreateAlphaPicture
noRenderExtension
PictureMatchVisual
xf86AddGeneralHandler
xf86DeregisterStateChangeNotificationCallback
xf86DisableGeneralHandler
xf86EnableGeneralHandler
xf86RemoveGeneralHandler
XineramaVisualsEqualPtr


Thanks,
