FreeBSD-6.2
Xfce 4 Desktop Environment
version 4.4.1 (Xfce 4.4)

When I switch to the terminal from within Xfce, I see
this message displayed:

vidcontrol: getting active vty: Inappropriate ioctl
for device

I have this entry in the ~/.bash_profile file:

vidcontrol lightcyan

There doesn't appear to be any problem, therefore I
was just wondering why I am receiving this error message.
