Xorg.log.0

[Amadeus WM]

Should there be an Xorg.log.0 in fedora 28? How come I don't have one 
after a brand new install?

Probably because you are using gnome which now conveniently
stuffs the log into journal where you can't see it for
the noise.

Look for it in ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log

If you are using GNOME and a Wayland session (the default now) there will be no
Xorg.log.0 created.

env | grep DISP

will tell you if you running Wayland

So what's a man to do if he's using Wayland and has video problems? I 
reckon there should be some Wayland logs. Are these different than Xorg?

You've not really defined your video problems.  But, here is some info which may be
of value.
