Apt returns with errors when i install packeges

the Package still installs, i just would like to know what's going on..

I should add that if you don't mind about the errors showing up here and there, there is no need to edit xorg.conf; the errors in themselves are harmless.

That's quite true as well. I just remember they drove me absolutely batty when I was using terminal for various tasks.

It pretty much comes up to a personal preference on wanting to see them or not.

Regards,
Justin

Thank, I didn't even think of this, as the problem.

Thanks for the info, I noticed the device information in a prior edit of my xorg.conf file but never thought it would create problems later, i commented out the section like you suggested, and i no longer receive the errors. thanks.

I just want to add one more thing, you should never just ignore an error, doing so will cause you to get in a bad habit, are cause bigger problems later.
