Yes, it needs to show up in two places:
1. next to the Zend logo in the first block
2. as a normal extension block named "xdebug"

There are a couple of things that you can check:

1. is your PHP compiled with --enable-versioning (see configure
   line in phpinfo() output)?
        yes => recompile PHP without this setting, as it generates many
               issues
2a. is your PHP compiled in ZTS mode? (See the "Thread Safety" value in
    phpinfo())?
2b. is your PHP compiled in debug mode? (See the "Debug Build" value in
    phpinfo())?
        The basic name for the setting to load Xdebug is
        "zend_extension". If you are in Debug mode add "_debug" to that
        name. If you are in ZTS mode add "_ts" to that name. (in this
        order)

3. Did you specify the full path to the xdebug .so file when loading it
   in php.ini? An example could be
   "zend_extension=/dat/dev/php/xdebug/modules/xdebug.so"

If possible, please provide a link to your phpinfo() online.
