If you want to read the log yourself do: less /var/log/XFree86.0.log (you may need to install "less" using dselect or apt-get install less) - for more info look at man "package name" You are looking for lines that have (EE) on the left. Once you've identified the problem you can then do: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to change the offending setting.
