17 A few items of interest. I actually ran
18 grep -A5 -B5 -E '\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
19 and then trimmed down a bit.

21 1)
22 1609-(**) Extension "XVideo" is enabled
23 1644:(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
24 1718-(II) No APM support in BIOS or kernel
25 1756-(II) Module ABI versions:
