Use the command line and type:

$ less /var/log/XFree86.0.log (without the '$' of course)

The arrow keys will move you up and down. The spacebar will move you down a
page at a time. The '/' will allow you to do a search. The 'q' key will quit
you out of the program and get your prompt back.

The less command is a very handy and often used tool. For more info, consult
the man page:

$ man less
