I should explain the command I mentioned.
There are Xorg log files in /var/log.
[weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ ls -hl /var/log/Xorg*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 599 Jul 17 22:58 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 599 Jul 17 22:58 /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29K Sep 10 2015 /var/log/Xorg.1.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29K Sep 9 2015 /var/log/Xorg.1.log.old
[weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ man grep | grep DESCRIPTION -A1
DESCRIPTION
grep searches the named input FILEs for lines containing a match
to the given PATTERN. [snip]
The "EE" is more or less unique for Xorg log files and a starting point
to find errors in those log files. IOW
grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log*
does search for entries containing "EE" in all Xorg log files, since
the asterisks are wildcards.
grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log* > /tmp/xorglog.txt
">" redirects the standard output to a file.
Before you post the output, read it, even if you shouldn't understand it.
1. A log file could contain private data.
Unlikely a Xorg log file contains such data, but...
2. ...you could google possible error messages and find hints, how to
solve the issue.
