Failed to load module "vesa"...

Hey. I'm getting the following errors in my Xorg logs

[    23.635] (II) LoadModule: "vesa"
[    23.636] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module vesa
[    23.636] (II) UnloadModule: "vesa"
[    23.636] (II) Unloading vesa
[    23.636] (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
[    23.636] (II) LoadModule: "modesetting"
[    23.637] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module modesetting
[    23.637] (II) UnloadModule: "modesetting"
[    23.637] (II) Unloading modesetting
[    23.637] (EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)
[    23.637] (II) LoadModule: "fbdev"
[    23.637] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module fbdev
[    23.637] (II) UnloadModule: "fbdev"
[    23.637] (II) Unloading fbdev
[    23.637] (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)

I'm using the ati driver and everything works fine. How can I get rid of these errors? How do I stop Xorg from trying to load them in the first place? I've tried blacklisting them in /etc/modprobe.d, but they still show up.

Thanks

Re: Failed to load module "vesa"...

This has been discussed a couple times on the forum. It's safe to just ignore them.
Install xf86-video-modesetting, xf86-video-vesa and xf86-video-fbdev to get rid of them.

I was looking for a 'fix" without installing useless packages, thanks though

The "fix" is just to ignore them.

Create an xorg.conf where you specify Driver "radeon". Then X will not try to detect which driver to use and therefore not complain that certain ones aren't installed.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

Those "worthless" packages solved my problem. I was unable to start X at all. Thank you, karol.
