According to the xorg.conf man page, the log file should be The default log file is /var/log/Xorg.n.log on most platforms, where n is the display number of the Xorg server.
Since I only run one X instance, I expect the display number to be 0.
But both files have been modified today, he /var/log/Xorg.0.log
seems to be the current log file, since the /var/log/Xorg.1.log
ends with the line :
[SSSSSS.MMM] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.
So, in brief, why are 2 log file here?
