There are only two (EE) errors about input devices, because I have them 
configured manually. The warnings:

(WW) RADEON(0): DRI init changed memory map, adjusting ...
(WW) RADEON(0):   MC_FB_LOCATION  was: 0xefffe000 is: 0xefffe000
(WW) RADEON(0):   MC_AGP_LOCATION was: 0x003f0000 is: 0xffffffc0
No idea what this is.

(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
Probably harmless, I have this on my desktop system, too.

That's it.
Then I have some blank/disable messages I do not understand at the bottom. 
On my desktop system, where I at least got some unaccelerated X output with 
the radeon driver, I have some of them, but fewer.
