If the error is in one of the Layouts pages, do the same to the web.config located under 14/template/layouts

@Vladi: Doing the same in TEMPLATE/LAYOUTS web.config didnt help either. Also note that this web.config didnt have the CallStack attribute as the whole <SharePoint> <SafeControl .. tag was missing.

Use the ULS logs. There is even a nice viewer for it too: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ULSViewer.

ULS Viewer is a great tool and helps troubleshoot SharePoint issues pretty quickly.

It is still possible to make changes to the web.config to get the regular asp.net yellow screen errors. Much like it is with a standard application, the first time you hit F5 in your SharePoint 2010 project, Visual Studio 2010 will prompt you if you want it to automatically configure the local web.config file for you.
However, in SharePoint 2010, the custom error page displays a GUID which can be used as a bookmark in the Log file. It makes searching the Log file much easier. But that GUID will not be displayed on the yellow screen error page, so you might want to take that into consideration before modifying the web.config.
