The entries to define the Xserver(s) are in /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers. You
can add the "-logverbose 6" server option to the end of this line (the
last one of the file):

:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten TCP

Then restart wdm.

I agree with Andrew, though: I think it is better to try getting it to
work with startx first.
