Turning on log_connections and log_statement certainly ought to produce
more output than you are getting. I wonder if maybe you are editing the
wrong copy of postgresql.conf --- people have made that mistake before.
The right copy is the one in the PGDATA directory (-D postmaster argument).
Don't forget that you need to either SIGHUP or restart the postmaster to
get it to take notice of changes in postgresql.conf.
