Close. /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Do you use startx or xdm?
I use gdm as the login window. I have never actually seen the window of
course because xorg hasn't worked correctly yet. But gdm did try to fire
up.
However at the terminal prompt after interrupting a failed xorg session I
typed in startx.
Was this dumb of me?
