There are only two (EE) errors about input devices, because I have them configured manually. The warnings: (WW) RADEON(0): DRI init changed memory map, adjusting ... (WW) RADEON(0): MC_FB_LOCATION was: 0xefffe000 is: 0xefffe000 (WW) RADEON(0): MC_AGP_LOCATION was: 0x003f0000 is: 0xffffffc0 No idea what this is. (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) Probably harmless, I have this on my desktop system, too. That's it. Then I have some blank/disable messages I do not understand at the bottom. On my desktop system, where I at least got some unaccelerated X output with the radeon driver, I have some of them, but fewer.
