Quoting from

==========================================================================
* Only the gdm3 display manager supports running X as a non-privileged
  user in stretch. Other display managers will always run X as
  root. Alternatively, you can also start X manually as a non-root user
  on a virtual terminal via startx.

When run as a regular user, the Xorg log will be available from
~/.local/share/xorg/.

Looks supported to me.
