I'm running CentOS 6.X and 7.X machines and use GNOME Desktop extensively, the problem is that Xorg.log.* files are getting big.
I have no need in those logs, I'd like to know how I can disable them or pass -logfile /dev/null -logverbose 0 -verbose 0 to /usr/bin/X
Who and what starts X ? If I can find it I can add the flags I assume
Thank you,
Dennis.

this doesn`t seem normal, why are the logs so big? Do they present errors?

No errors, use messages such as these: [ 15.955] AUDIT: Thu Apr 20 16:22:35 2017: 1384: client 3 connected from local host ( uid=42 gid=42 pid=2835 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 682 [ 15.956] AUDIT: Thu Apr 20 16:22:35 2017: 1384: client 3 disconnected

The problem seems to have been debugged here here:
Root Cause:
The messages are logged due to-audit 4argument passed to Xorg process while gdm launches it.The options is hard-coded in new update ofgdmpackage."
(I've seen Gnome doing really stupid things with respect to X, like hardlinked MIT cookies, but this probably tops it).
In the blog post, the solution was to replaced gdm with sddm. Any other display manager will probably also do, as will either recompiling gdm with the -audit 4 argument patched out, or patching the gdm binary with dd to overwrite the -audit 4 argument with spaces or similar.
