There's an X_ERROR there, if that is what is troubling you. The same thing 
was an X_WARNING for about a month in which i gathered a single pair of 
pciids. At least with X_ERROR i get a report once in a while.

It is just a message. And this is just a CRT only motherboard and as such 
reasonably straightforward. If the driver is not working for you, then it 
is not related to this. Maybe opening a bugreport on bugs.freedesktop.org 
should be the way forward.

If you are just reporting a new pci id, then thank you, i will include it 
in the next unichrome release. The current selfappointed maintainer of the 
Xorg via driver is Thomas Hellstrom (unichrome at shipmail.org). The message 
that comes with the pciid X_ERROR is slightly more cryptic than it used to 
be for, by now, obvious reasons.

My recent commit was only to ensure proper tribute to the original author 
(me, the exact same person who broke things to begin with) and the 
original reporter (Tom Huckstep) as that was lost in the bugreport.
