KMS rootless X indeed puts the log in ~/.local/share/xorg. As it's
enabled by default for the nouveau driver since Squeeze, the "No such
file or directory" message indicates the OP is using the proprietary
driver, for which KMS must be enabled manually.

Kind of a roundabout, teach a fish to fly kind of thing, but Reco is
twisted.

Actually just kidding.

How 'bout

 grep -B2 'Module class: X.Org Video Driver' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

But then if the OP had been using the nouveau driver, he'd get a "No such
file or directory" message.

Now a word from our sponsor.
