That directory has:
treat extensions # ls -l
total 220
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  17836 2009-05-25 09:04 libdbe.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     47 2009-05-25 09:15 libdri.so ->
//usr//lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libdri.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 125416 2009-05-25 09:04 libextmod.so

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root   4096 2009-05-25 11:10 var

but /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions has NOTHING in it.
