|From: sycheng@cis.ufl.edu | | | Hi : | | Please forgive me if this is a stupid question. the "xconsole" on my | machine always generate "Couldn't open console" message. I do include the | "UCONSOLE" and "XSERVER" options but still got no luck. Could anyone tell | me why ? I am using the lastest current codes. When you log in to the first console (ttyv0) the ownership of /dev/console should change to your login id. This is configured by an entry in /etc/fbtab: /dev/ttyv0 0600 /dev/ttyv0:/dev/console Make sure that /dev/console is owned by you when you start xconsole. Rich
