Re: Log filling up


You could always do

rm /tmp/XWin.log
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/XWin.log

That should work and dump to /dev/null.

I haven't tested to see if this affects the XWin.log or not.  I can't imagine that it would, since the log fills up even when my desktop is set to the one where X is running, so it shouldn't see any difference.
