What version of the X server are you using? If I'm reading things 
correctly, this implies that you're using xserver 1.9 or older, but your 
server doesn't export the fbGetGCPrivateKey() function for some reason.

This function is only used on older GPUs when workstation overlays are 
enabled, so if you aren't enabling those I think it should be harmless.
