This extension defines a protocol for a client to determine information
about core X visuals beyond what the core protocol provides. It has
been deprecated, and is not supported in xserver releases made in the
last few years, but remains for building the library for compatibility
with existing applications.
This minor maintenance release provides the usual collection of recent
build configuration improvements and janitorial cleanups.

Sorry about that. The README has now been corrected in git: Author: Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith at oracle.com> Date: Wed Jan 5 18:18:27 2011 -0800 Correct README to describe XEvIE instead of EVI extension Yes, we had two little used extensions with very different purposes but very similar names. Naming is hard. While we're in here, document that this extension is no longer supported in the Xserver.
