Hiya All, I seem to be having a problem with Xconsole which is a little whacky... It refuses to open the console when I run it as a regular user. As a test, I changed the permissions on /dev/console to 777 (and this still didn't work). I then changed the ownership of the console to my userid and that worked beautifully. (under 600 permissions too) (the GID at the time was both (I tested a number of times) wheel and operator (groups to which both root and I have access) and still I have no luck opening the console. (btw : yes, OPTIONS UCONSOLE *is compiled into the kernel) vanilla 2.1 install.. Anyone know of why this is failing ? Tony
