Programs like xconsole (or xterm -C) have never worked for me. At the moment, /dev/console is crw------- 1 root wheel 0, 0 Apr 23 11:09 /dev/console which is obviously wrong. All I really want is for console messages to come up in one of my xterms when in X (which I start with 'startx', not xdm). This is on a 2.1-stable kernel with "XSERVER" and "UCONSOLE" compiled in. Couldn't find anything about this in the man pages. Cheers.
