I have a problem with my Linux console. Maybe it isn't a problem, but it is rather annoying... Anyway, when I start X, all its debugging info goes to the terminal I started "startx" from. This becomes a problem when, i.e., GIMP crashes, and leaves its crud all over a screen somewhere else... Even more annoying is when I get a talk request: It goes to my terminal, instead of an X-Terminal!! Okay, so anyway, I'd like to redirect it, but XConsole doesn't seem to do anything. It doesn't /fail/ however, it just doesn't intercept anything. Now, I do have one guess as to what it may be... I understand that Slackware didn't build the /dev/console device properly. I just made a guess and linked it as this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 29 18:01 /dev/console -> tty0 crw--w--w- 1 root root 4, 0 Feb 11 19:08 /dev/tty0 Any guesses? I would appreciate any intelligent thoughts on the matter... -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Michael J.
