I get the same warning, but I don't think it matters very much, because
the lines before say (in my case):

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device

I'd guess that the warning just says, "you're not using the secondary
device 1:0:1".

I get more or less the same message, with a different card-id. My card
has two connectors, a VGA connector and a DVI connector. I'm using the
VGA connector. Maybe the second device has to do with the unused connector?
