Bug#202923: /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86: /var/log/XFree86.0.log has no timestamps
>> the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log has no timestamps so one can't tell
>> which session it is reporting on. OK, it is only one session. But
>> when X fails and then gets restarted automatically, the old log is
>> replaced. So either add timestamps and keep more than one log.

OK, I found it for xdm. By the way, timestamps in
/var/log/XFree86.0.log wouldn't hurt.
Michel> Your X session doesn't get restarted automatically, does it?
well, it looked just like restarting from "/sbin/init 1"
By the way, looks like rather unhealthy stuff is happening daily,
thought is crashed only that day, perhaps because I apt-got fonts
while running x. Anyway and other health tips?:
