Also, i would like to see all the output from X as it starts, so that i can whittle down my Xfree86 config and also maybe catch a few mis-configs that might be slowing it down. This output also scrolls away quickly. I tried redirecting to a file, but that doesn't seem to work: startx > file.out jm -- i'm tired of signatures.
