The "X server output stuff" is being  written to stderr, not stdout. To
redirect it to the file, change your command to read

XF86_Mach64 -probeonly 2> xout
                       ^
                Redirects stderr

For these purposes, 

        1 = stdout (and is the default if nothing is specified)
        2 = stderr
        0 = stdin (the keyboard in a console setup)
