1) Shift-PgUp/PgDn will (usually) let you scroll through the text that's been displayed in a console or xterm after the fact. This is limited by buffer size, though, so you might lose some. But it doesn't require any advance preparation. 2) Use startx 2> somefile to redirect all error messages to somefile if you're expecting a lot of them. (This works for any command, too, not just startx.) -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
