it is not fatal, (but that doesn't go to the console, unfortunatly there's 
no way to cut-and-paste from the console so I sent the logfile instead)

however, grepping for warnings and errors produces

grep -e EE -e WW tmpQVC8Bc.txt

the missing modules suggest to me that the modules should be added (in 
particular dri being missing seems like a performance hit) or the config 
file should not try to load them

but the GlideSensor errors sound like more of a problem. is the config 
made for a different version of X than what is shipped? (is this possibly 
a cause for the trackpad problems)

note that this was from joyride-1498
