- I installed MIT's X11R5 some months ago. Everything went smoothly except
- for the contrib code for "xconsole". It compiles fine but does not work
- as advertised. When it comes up it responds with a "Couldn't open
- console message". The annoyance arises when I try and bring up an X
- client that may have to send some output to the console. My X session
- hangs and I must <shft><cntrl><break> to get back to the HP screen and
- then restart my X server.
-
- I check the permissions on the device file...
