- Hi
-
- I would like to run two xconsoles simultaneously, one reading
- /dev/console and the other reading a named pipe (specified using the
- -file option). This is impossible in the version I have (xconsole.c,v
- 1.9 91/07/25 14:23:46 rws Exp) apparently because xconsole always tries
- to gain ownership of the MIT_CONSOLE_<host> atom which causes the
- previous xconsole to quit.
-
- I was about to attempt a patch (since it doesn't look too difficult) but
- I decided to ask here first.
-
- Is there already a patch for this?
- If there is, would someone email it to me?
- If there isn't, would anyone like the one I intend to write?
-
- Thanks.
