Re: need help getting X server running...
I'm pretty new to Linux myself, and don't know how to redirect the output
messages of startx to a file, though I'm confident it can be done. Maybe
someone else can enlighten us on the details.
However, what you can do, is press Shift-PgUp; apparently Debian keeps a
buffer of the last couple of screens, and Shift-PgUp/Dwn will navigate
through them.
This method has allowed me to see the pertinent info I needed to get my X
up and running.
