Where do I set that please? Are all these options in xorg.conf?

Is this relevant (I assume you clicked through to the logs)?
[ 308.089] (WW) R128(0): Failed to read PCI ROM!
[ 308.089] (WW) R128(0): Video BIOS not found!
[ 308.089] (II) R128(0): Primary Display == Type 3
[ 308.089] (WW) R128(0): Can't determine panel dimensions, and none
specified.
Disabling programming of FP registers.
How do I set up PCI-only? System Profiler doesn't mention PCI in

[ 308.492] (II) R128(0): [DRI] installation complete
That would be
