In addition to xconsole, there is a command dmesg which outputs the last
4k of messages.  I run it if I suspect a problem and didn't have
xconsole running.  dmesg|tail helps limit the amount of messages.

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
