>Not a declared device

This means that you don't have a Device section defined for "Actix GE32+ 2MB".
Please refer to the sample XF86Config file, and the XF86Config man page
to see how Devices are defined.

Also, since you don't have an "Actix GE32+ 2MB", you should set up a Device
section for the board you have.  You will run into problems if you try
to use the "Actix GE32+ 2MB" entry.
