I'm running Arch64, and while updating nvidia options in xorg.conf, I ran into an error in my Xorg.0.log that didn't have anything to do with the nvidia changes I made.
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep WW shows...
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module type1
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE shows...
Current Operating System: Linux Leigh 2.6.23-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 21 20:26:31 CET 2007 x86_64
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0)
above is the only warning and error in my Xorg.0.log.
This is the relevent portion of my xorg.conf file...

I checked /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts and sure enough, libtype1.so doesn't exist.
I did some googling and found some issues concerning a few very vague vulnerability issues concerning the type1 module, and a year old gentoo topic about a type1 module error due to libXfont. searching my pacman log, I know that libtype1.so exsisted before these updates...

Could this be a xorg-server 1.4.0.90-3 bug?
Update..
copied libtype1.so from my backup, which only lacks the above updates, to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts
After reboot, I verified that module type1 successfully loaded without errors.
I'm still confused about why libtype1.so was deleted.

I found the same issus in my Xorg.0.log after the update.

So it could't be a org-server 1.4.0.90-3 bug as you can see.
I have changed from
Section "Module"
Load "ddc" # ddc probing of monitor
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "bitmap" # bitmap-fonts
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "record"
EndSection
to
#Section "Module"
# Load "ddc" # ddc probing of monitor
# Load "dbe"
# Load "extmod"
# Load "glx"
# Load "bitmap" # bitmap-fonts
# Load "type1"
# Load "freetype"
# Load "record"
#EndSection
and it work.

I did some searching and found libtype1.so included in the xorg-server 1.4.0.90-1 file list.
Couldn't find a list for 1.4.0.90-2 , but libtype1.so is not part of the file list for 1.4.0.90-3

Type1 module is obsolete, type1 fonts can be loaded by the freetype module. Remove the "Load Type1" line from xorg.conf and X should continue to work like it used to do.

Thanks, I read a few posts about that from googling but wasn't sure.
