It's not bothering me too much because it's mainly published in the logs and on the console, and I normally don't even have a monitor attached to the system. But now during this weekends maintainance I have been working from console and get the message: "can't exec getty '/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm" for port /dev/tty8: no such file or directory every 30 second or so, incredibly irritating when writing a longer bash-command. I searched the archive but only found a solution telling that the /usr was improperly mounted, which in no way is the case. Any other ideas?
