As a test, try wc -l xorg.log >logtest.txt uniq xorg.log wc -l xorg.log >>logtest.txt then compare the line counts in xorgtest.txt. If the second is far smaller than the first, you might use grep to get a count of that error message in the modified xorg.log file and see if it comes back as 1. If so, then uniq worked. > >
