Let's just assume kernel logs: well....for rare event, normally logging should go to dmesg. (just enter "dmesg" at the command line). But for very frequent logging, like that of firewall logs, there is something called ulogd logging. (also in /var/log/ulogd.log) For graphics, a lot of it has been pushed to userspace....so X logs should be the right place to look. Other than these I am not aware of any other possibilities:-).
