But it stops working when X starts, because the VGA memory the
scrollback buffer uses gets used by X. (This is a gross
oversimplification.)
Try something like:
$ startx >> X.log 2>&1
If you want to see the messages go flying by, that would be:
$ startx 2>&1 | tee -a X.log
Another handy program is SuperProbe, to make sure your idea of what
the card is matches X's idea.
