In a fresh install of 6.6/amd64, if I login on a console as a non-root
user and start X via 'startx', the X server tries to write log information
in the file
  $HOME/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log

I have two questions:
1. Is there any way to change the directory
     $HOME/.local/share/xorg/
   in which the X server logfile is written?
2. This being OpenBSD, is there a Fine Manual in which this configuration
   is documented?

None of
  man Xorg
  man Xserver
  man startx
  man xinit
  man xorg.conf
  man xorg.conf.d
  man -k log|egrep '^X'
  cd /etc/ && find . -type f | xargs fgrep share/xorg
  cd /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ \
           && find . -type f | xargs fgrep share/xorg
  cd /usr/X11R6/share/X11/ \
           && find . -type f | xargs fgrep share/xorg
  cd /usr/X11R6/share/ \
           && find . -type f | xargs fgrep share/xorg
or grepping my (minimal) /etc/x11/xorg.conf have thus far yielded any
relevant info.

(The reason I'd like to change this directory is that in my setup
$HOME/.local is a symlink to a different filesystem which may not yet
be mounted at the time when 'startx' is run.)

thanks, ciao,
