Tried those suggestions. Still the same result.
using the egrep suggestion;
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc" does not exist.
(WW) FontPath is completely invalid. Using compiled-in default.
(WW) (1024x768,Generic Monitor) mode clock 94.5MHz exceeds DDC maximum 80MHz
