[Solved] Some Xorg.0.log warnings

What do those mean and what can I do to make it better?

1)

(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

2)

(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa

3)

(WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev

Re: [Solved] Some Xorg.0.log warnings

They're harmless. IIRC you need to install acpi, xf86-video-vesa and xf86-video-fbdev to get rid of them.

I know that, I just want to improve.

xf86-video-vesa and xf86-video-fbdev to get rid of them.

I know they aren't necessary. But if I get rid of them I get errors.  Not nice too.

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

karol said you need to install them in order to get rid of the warnings.

I think the warnings may be done away by writing a xorg.conf, but I'm not sure and I don't think it worth it.

Seems I remembered wrong. You had to install those packages to get rid of the '(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)' errors.

What config files for xorg are you using? Can you post them?
