  Here's the video card as per "lspci -vv"

  At bootup, I get the following (saved in dmesg)
mtrr: your CPUs had inconsistent fixed MTRR settings
mtrr: probably your BIOS does not setup all CPUs.
mtrr: corrected configuration.

and I get the following in the X log file.  Can I ignore it?

(WW) RADEON(0): DRI init changed memory map, adjusting ...
(WW) RADEON(0):   MC_FB_LOCATION  was: 0xd7ffd000 is: 0xd7ffd000
(WW) RADEON(0):   MC_AGP_LOCATION was: 0xffffffc0 is: 0xffffffc0
==========================================



==========================================
  The following appears in the X log...

(II) LoadModule: "freetype"

(WW) Warning, couldn't open module freetype
(II) UnloadModule: "freetype"
(EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0)
==========================================



==========================================
  Due to bad experiences with fglrx, I'm using the open source ATI
drivers.  I get the following in the X log...

(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
==========================================



==========================================
  In xorg.conf, I've commented out all fontpaths except...

    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
    FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"

...but the log still shows...

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF" does not exist.
  Entry deleted from font path.
(**) FontPath set to:
  /usr/share/fonts/misc/,
  /usr/share/fonts/Type1/,
  /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,
  /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,
  /usr/share/fonts/misc/,
  /usr/share/fonts/TTF/,
  /usr/share/fonts/Type1/,
  /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,
  /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,
  built-ins
==========================================

  Any comments/suggestions?

you can ignore that too. freetype is not needed.

you are missing a file. Try re-installing mesa.

yeah. remove all font paths. They are not needed anymore.
