I just tried to look at /var/log/messages, but it looks like a binary
file, and I don't have read or write access to it. How is one meant to
look at it?
It is not/should not be a binary. You generally need root access to read the file.
You should likely look at $HOME/.xsession-errors or /var/log/XFree86.0.log
