  xinit 2>&1 | tee TEMPFILE

Sorry if my poor english vocabulary didn't help you to understand me.

I'd like to see the output text sent by the graphicals programs to the tty1
when a running in X. Nowaday I using CTRL+ALT+F1 to see them.

I figure out if is there a program that capture and show them in X a window.
