True, which is why I'd like the log. I noted the shift-PageUp in response to the ctrl-s suggestion; I'm usually too slow with the ctrl-s, but then shift-PageUp helps. And I usually start xdm by hand anyway :-) That used to be the safest way, although the new code (well, new since a long time) to prevent looping when the X config is wrong works very well.
