No, I don't. Neither a logfile is moved nor is one written. I don't see
anything.

But as you state yourself below, Debian doesn't. And even more - it does
not accept paths in the conf-file, that's why I have to give the plain
name:
holbe@darkside:/home/holbe% X :1 -xf86config /etc/X11/xorg-tv.conf
-nolisten tcp
Fatal server error:
Invalid argument for -xf86config
For non-root users, the file specified with -xf86config must be
a relative path and must not contain any ".." elements.
Using default xorg.conf search path.

All right, so maybe I should just rename the bug to "-config/-xf86config
don't work anymore for non-root users" - if you like this more.
However, the issue remains: I cannot start any X server with a -config
or -xf86config option because of the error I mentioned in my first mail.
