I've seen a lot of answers, but seem to have missed someone that mentioned redirecting the standard error stream, that usually contains the errors. I would suggest you send the messages to a file before printing (because there can be many of them). Supposing you start X using startx, that would be in bash: startx > my_errors 2>&1 in tcsh: startx >& my_errors Hope this helps, Eric Meijer E.L.
