Hi Bill,
I believe you need to redirect sterr to your logfile too. Check and see if
this file exists for you:
[root@NIS-968414 log]# cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log
XFree86 Version 4.0.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400)
Release Date: 16 March 2001
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.2.17-8smp i686 [ELF]
