Hm, weird, you really shouldn't need it. I have an G450, I get the same error, but no problems. mga_hal is the proprietary driver, and if you want to be Saint in the Church of Emacs, you shouldn't have it... ;-) So, I would suspect something else is wrong... Could you post the whole log? (I often dump it on an URL to save bandwidth, or perhaps trim some things if it is large).
