I *always* have xconsole running in my user session, so I know
everything about what the box is doing.
- startx into user X session.
- from xterm (et al) "su" (no dash "-"), which lets your root
login use your user's XSESSION.
- as root, "xconsole -file /dev/xconsole -daemon -notify -exitOnFail &"
Enjoy the pretty messages. You might want to play with some
Xresources:
*XConsole*text.scrollHorizontal: true
*XConsole*font: -*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
*XConsole*geometry: 596x114-4-4
*XConsole*foreground: wheat
*XConsole*background: black
*XConsole*scrollColor: wheat
