and then a similar one when I switch back.  This happens when the
original VT is in raw mode, apparently, so the terminating newline is
not cooked and I get the staircase effect, messing up the display (after
I return from X) and wasting screen space.

Can I silence these messages?  I tried adding "-logverbose 2" to my
server init file, that didn't help.  IIRC I cannot redirect the output
to /dev/null or anywhere else because X looks at stdout/stderr and makes
inferences from where they point.

Maybe I ought to try -logverbose 0 ?

I'm not home now, so I don't have the exact syntax, but I created an alias "startxlog" which calls startx, redirecting stdout to one file, and stderr to another.  I haven't noticed X doing anything odd because of those redirects.
