(Solved)(WW) Warning, couldn't open module fbdev

Hey archers!
I've noticed that there's strange message in xorg.o.log
[ 10.046] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module vesa
[ 10.046] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module fbdev
these modules were uninstalled long time ago and I ran mkinitcpio -p kernel26 many times since then.
How do I know what causes xorg to load this modules and how to get rid of it?
I have intel915 card and intel module works correct.

xorg' s autodetection looks for these modules, and issues a warning if it doesn't find them. It's only a problem if you actually use them, which you clearly don't.

Also, they're xorg modules, not kernel modules, so mkinitcpio is irrelevant here.

Is there any way to make Xorg not try to load them without messing with xorg.conf? I don't have it and don't wanna have

Do you have any problems with this, or are you only annoyed by the warnings?

no probs..just wondering why this happens...

It's just a warning, X is informing you that this module is not opened.

Since you don't need it, It's nothing to worry about
