I'd:-
$ su -c "grep 'WW\|EE\|NI\|??' /var/log/Xorg.0.log"

or if you use sudo:-
$ sudo grep 'WW\|EE\|NI\|??' /var/log/Xorg.0.log)


Then I'd go through:-
$ su -c "dpkg-reconfigure systemd slim $DM [etc]"  (use sudo instead of
su -c as appropriate)


I'll check my setup when I get back to the office and post here if I
find anything relevant.

Kind regards
