It may not have existed when x was started, but it does exist now:
Restarting X doesn't change the message though.
# ls -la /var/run

It is available and loadable, but doesn't link to anything when I do load
it. Restarting x with it loaded doesn't effect the error.

The PCI BusID is miss-quoted in the error message, its 2:00.1 in the lspci
