X-server errors
Over the years, using various RH and SuSE versions, and again recently under
Debian, I've noticed the list of errors generated by the X-server. Usually,
the screen is full of them when dropping back to command line. I've come to
accept them as normal. But are they? Should I care? It would be nice to
have things run error free, even if only from an A-R sense of neatness.
As an example, I'm going to laboiously copy the current errors from my desktop
machine:

Is this all typical and of no consequence or is some or all of it solveable by
correct editing of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (or better by using a setup tool
somewhere)?
