That's very odd. The server should *create* this file. Do you have a log of this error message?

(With the proper permissions too; heheh. :) /var/log should already exist with the proper permissions, and the X server itself should be creating this logfile. > Thanks for getting this beast packaged; I didn't have great luck getting > 4.0 to work a few months ago, so I am thrilled you are doing it for me. > :) Thanks for testing it! Please reply to debian-x if you don't mind working out these issues in public view. -- G. Branden Robinson | America is at that awkward stage.
