If you look in src/x/xwin.c there are only two places where that
message occurs. These strings occur in the in the DGA1 and
XF86VidMode parts of that file. I wouldn't take too much notice of
the strings that demo.c outputs, because they are likely to be only
the *last* errors encountered.
It would be better to start putting in printf's to figure out exactly
which driver is failing, and where. I'd start with set_gfx_mode in
graphics.c.
