how to debug Xserver Module?

[余涛]

Hi:
	
	Thanks, I know startx is a script file. 
     My step is: 1) startx in the console 
				 2) when FC4 enter into the x windows and then in the other
					PC use ssh to login 
 				 3) gdb /usr/X11/bin/X $(/sbin/pidof X)
    From the steps, i didn't know how to postpone activating other modules 
after awaking the Xserver, because i use startx script to load all modules 
at one time;


Also many thanks
