Hmm. Iīm not completely sure, but if you like using your phone only from terminal then itīs probably useless to you =)
.edit
I think its the main process handling the ui/xwindows.
..edit
And itīs not only about logging it starts xorg but those options after that command just tell process where it should put it's log file. Google or some other can tell what the other options are.

This is an ancient thread, but it's the only one I see on the issue. I myself have been wondering if there's any point to keep the logging going. I more than understand why Xorg itself it important - it runs the actual window system.
But does the log itself have any importance? I get the impression it would be better on battery life and everything else if xorg wasn't constantly asking for disk writes and such.

Ahhh. Alright. Thank you. I was looking around in the XOrg wiki, but it's always nice to see how quickly answers come on here.
Especially the /tmp being in memory bit. I wouldn't have even known that was the case from the official X.Org documentation, or would've taken forever to find it.

I was wondering if you can change that line myself for other reasons. I would like to remove the "-nolisten tcp" so I can run desktop apps with output on the N900. I realise there are other ways to do it, but its faster to do it directly rather than over SSH.

If you mess up the argument list you can quite easily end up in a reboot loop - flashing is the only fix.
If it is possible to disable it without a problem how can I prevent it to start after a reboot?
Thanks.
