Hi !

This error indicates that there is something wrong with your
/etc/XF86Config . I'm willing to help you but perhaps you could first email
me your relevant files off the list (privately).

This error is harmless and would be ignored by X11 if the rest would
be ok.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows, 
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
                      (Henry David Thoreau)
