It is also useful to 'edit' the log output to what would seem to be related to the problem. For XFree86, the /var/log/XFree86.0.log ususally has lines with 'EE' that explain errors.
As for getting it to your other OS:
floppy
vfat partition on HD or USB disk
brun to cdrom
Email the file to an account that the other OS can read
