I get these errors as well.

My system is "uname -a" :

Linux ether.localdomain 2.4.2-2 #1 Sun Apr 8 20:41:30 EDT 2001 i686 unknown

I am running RedHat 7.1 w/ XFree86 4.0.3 in 16bpp

My solution has been to ignore the messages. But now I thought it would
help to know this isn't exclusive of a Solaris system.
