Is there a way to get the xconsole command to work for normal users with startx? As a normal user, when I execute the command xconsole I get the error message couldn't open console The permissions for /dev/ttyv0 are crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Jul 11 08:49 ttyv0 and /etc/fbtab has this #/dev/ttyv0 0600 /dev/console Is there a way to use the xauth command to add the ability to a read the console, but not write to it? Would it be wise to uncomment the line in /etc/fbtab and make the permissions more lenient?
