My Ubuntu 10.10 sometimes totally freezes. I suppose that it is somehow related to my graphic card and would like to check Xserver log. Where is this file located ?

            Where most of log files located: /var/log/ 
Log filename: Xorg.0.log Xorg.1.log etc...
Update:
You can check out the log files:
Click on
System menu > Choose Administration > System Log
or
Applications > System Tool > Log File Viewer

        /var/log/ as mentioned, or ~/.local/share/xorg/:
If a problem occurs, view the log stored in either
/var/log/or, for the rootless X default since v1.16, in~/.local/share/xorg/.- ArchWiki
Note that ~ is a home directory of an user who starts xserver. This user could be gdm3 for example and in such case you will find logs at /var/lib/gdm3/.local/share/xorg.
