That command should start X from the virtual terminal (assuming you're in 
runlevel 3 now) and it will redirect all normal output and error output into 
that text file rather than showing it on your terminal.  You can then review the 
file and attach to a bug report or to email.  The point is getting all the 
output in case it spams right off your scrollback buffer.
