Was it working before? If so, my first thought would be to tell it init 3,
to multiuser mode without X running, and then run startx, and see if it
gives you any useful messages. /var/log/Xorg.x.log is extremely difficult
to find useful information, unless in the last few lines you find an EE
message.
