Re: need help getting X server running...

["Jesse Evans" <jpjevans@earthlink.net>]

Folks,

    Thanks for the tips, but so far still no joy.

    Regarding posting all the messages, I can't even read them all.
As the messages start to scroll up, the display blinks (trying to go into
graphics mode, I suspect,) then comes back to text.
Most of the (**) messages run past during this blank-out time.

    How can I capture these messages into a file so that I
may be able to see what's going on? I've tried looking in /var/log
to see if anythere seems related, but haven't found anything.
I think what I want to do is redirect stderr into a file, but
I'm new to linux and don't know how to make that happen.
