It used to be that it was possible to diff logs to isolate differences from run to run. That's no longer possible as long as most lines are now prepended with a time stamp. Is there some way to eliminate the time stamps so as to be able to do diffs?

Sure I _could_, but that doesn't address the issue of wasted screen space and extra line wrapping when simply viewing them. I'd rather never see them in Xorg.0.logs, where timestamps don't have relevance anything like they do in boot or build logs. Not having them ever, at least via option, would have the bonus of diffing remaining as simple as it used to be. I was hoping for an answer to the question if there is a way to turn them off more than a diffing workaround.

I have no idea why this was added, but the server provides two place where to handle logfiles: -logfile filename -logverbose [n]
You can try to redirect the output thru cut.

you mean the options ? something is starting the xserver maybe xdm. in case of xdm you can modify /etc/X11/xdm/Xserver (at least i hope so),
