Hey-

What is the location of the log file you need?

The model of the laptop is a Compaq V5204NR with a 15.4" widescreen capable of
1280x800.

Can you elaborate a bit more? I am not too technical with this stuff, but why
did the current release not put in anything at all for the xorg file? Is this
something that should be resolved by final?

Thanks,
