So logging out and back in *should* rotate the log for you. I've got a feeling it might be set not to create a new log file if it can't find an old one, so deleting them all *might* stop new ones being created. There's so many weird and wonderful ways these things can be done :-) and XOrg is directly descended from XFree86, which is directly descended from something else, so the code base probably goes back to the 80s - and quite possibly beyond ... I wonder what standard practice was back then! Cheers, WolThe problem Dale came up to and this thread did not involve /var/log/ Xorg.0.log, but the sddm created file ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log.
chattr +i ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log
