Nope. :)

Yeah, this happened with another fellow a few days ago. Or maybe it was
yesterday. He had a different card, though, so it is understandable that
you missed it in the archives. Take a look at the name of the missing
symbols, and try to figure out which of the following modules you need
to load to make it go: "ddc" "bitmap" "speedo" "vbe" "int10" "GLcore"
"dbe" "dri" "extmod" "glx" "pex5" "record" "xie" "freetype" "type1". (As
I have said before -- this list may not be exhaustive. :)
[Branden -- any chance you get get dexter to place all known modules in
the XF86Config-4 file? Perhaps with glx & dri commented out? This is
quickly becoming a FAQ. :]

I think so:
$ apt-cache show xserver-common | tail -7 | head -4
The "Dexter" X server configuration file generation tool in this
package requires the dialog package to work; however, there are
alternate ways of generating X server configuration files and thus
dialog is recommended, but not depended upon.
Sadly, apt doesn't do anything useful with the Recommends: line, so many
people may not see the description. (Which also includes useful
information about fonts! :)
