It depends on how you start X. If you use the startx method then any errors
are printed to stderr on the VC you executed startx. You should execute
startx in the background, i.e. startx <any args> &. you can then type
<ctrl><alt>fn (n=VC startx from) to see any errors. If you are starting X
via xdm then errors are in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-errors and ~/.xsession-errors.
