I found this under man XFree86:
-logfile filename
Use the file called filenameg as the X server log
file. The default log file is /var/log/XFree86.n.log on most platforms,
where n is the display number of the X
server. The default may be in a different directory on
some platforms. This option is only available when the server is run as
root (i.e, with real-uid 0).
-logverbose [n]
Sets the verbosity level for information printed to the X
server log file. If the n value isn't supplied, each occurrance of this
option increments the log file ver�
bosity level. When the n value is supplied, the log file
verbosity level is set to that value. The default log file verbosity
level is 3.
