user [EMAIL PROTECTED] usertag 500993 + config-xglamo thanks Hi Adi!
If you report other bugs, can you follow the instructions at [1] or,
more specifically, can you cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
using the X-Debbugs-CC header [2]? I found this bug by chance...

How have you started Xglamo? I just tested on a fresh Debian
installation and everything works as expected when I launch
# invoke-rc.d nodm start
or, which is mostly the same, since both nodm and startx are "frontends"
to xinit:
# xinit
# startx
I get your error only if I directly call /usr/bin/Xglamo as a normal
user, which is AFAIK plainly wrong [3], since the server must be started
with root permissions. Indeed neither /usr/bin/Xorg works:
=====
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$ /usr/bin/Xorg
Fatal server error:
Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$
=====
For the reasons above, this is not a bug: I'll tag it as wontfix and
close it in one week, if no one complains before.

As I explained in the thread at [4], xserver-xorg-core (which provides
/usr/bin/Xorg) is not necessary at all. However, read *carefully* the
whole thread if you want to remove it or, better, leave it there (it
doesn't do any harm) until bug #502120 [5] is fixed.
Thx, bye,
