Code:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less
Look for lines that begin with (EE).

Okay that worked fine. That is one long log. I had these machines networked at one point where I could read the files on this machine but it isn't working today. One problem at a time! So I hand wrote the (EE) part of the file.
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extentsion (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
error opening security policy file /usr/lib/xserver/SecurityPolicy
(EE) xf86openSerial: cannot open device /dev/wascom
No such file or directory
Error opening /dev/wasom : success
(EE) xf86openSerial: cannot open device /dev/wascom
No such file or directory
Error opening /dev/wasom : success
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: cannot open device /dev/wascom
No such file or directory
Error opening /dev/wasom : success
those were the errors in the log file some were marked with (WW)
Can you make out what's wrong from this? My eyes were going crossed just copying it!
