Is there some magic I need to work to get xconsole to be able
to open the console from my .xinitrc in 2.05? Did some characteristic of
/dev/console change?
It works if started manually after an 'su'. Current permissions are:
</dev># ll /usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root bin 16384 May 8 20:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/xconsole
</dev># ll /dev/console
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 0 Aug 6 11:53 /dev/console
.xinitrc line is:
xconsole -geometry 400x70+617+25 &
giving:
"Couldn't open console in it's window.
This used to work in 2.0R,
