The easiest way to get the logs from a system that has an xorg which
is not working properly is to install the package openssh-server,
connect it to the network with ethernet, and ssh in from another
computer.

Of course, you can use nomodeset with the vesa driver in order to work
around the problems for daily use, but we need standard conditions for
the troubleshooting.
