Those aren't actually errors, as long as X starts.
Those are just warnings, indicating that some mode

enough VRAM or some such to use them. Not harmful

You'll need CVS X. 4.1.0 supports the Radeon VE, but only in single-headed

The DVI-VGA tip applies to the Radeon VE, not the 7500/8500 (AFAIK). It
probably applies to the 7000, because that's pretty much just a VE on

Actually, support for the ATi series of cards is
pretty extensive - here's what I know
Mach8 - accelerated in 3.3.x, unaccel in 4.x. If you
have one of these, you really should upgrade.
Mach32 - same as above.
Mach64 and Rage/Rage Pro - hardware-accelerated 2D in
3.3.x and 4.x, Xv in 4.x.
ACK! Don't do that unless nothing else works!
Try this - as root,
chown root.X11 /var/log/XFree86.0.log
then - chmod 664 /var/log/XFree86.0.log
then, either make all users who will run X a member of
the group X11, or make /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 SGID X11
rather than SUID root. It's more secure
