Thanks for the patch.

Works for me on Debian with recent X server git.

Tested-by: Michal Suchanek <hramrach at centrum.cz>

 $ X +extension GLX +extension RANDR +extension RENDER -logfile
/scratch/xdummy.log -config ~hramrach/xdummy.conf :1
xf86PrivsElevated: not tested yet.
xf86PrivsElevated: elevated: uid 1000, euid 1000, gid 1000, egid 0.

Fatal server error:
The '-logfile' option cannot be used with elevated privileges.
...

$ Xorg +extension GLX +extension RANDR +extension RENDER -logfile
/scratch/xdummy.log -config ~hramrach/xdummy.conf :1
xf86PrivsElevated: not tested yet.
