- No getting any response from console window under X.
-
- I'm using xdm, so all my getty's in inittab are turned off.
- After logging into X, I have an iconized console window.
- It was started by xconsole (setup by SLS, I didn't
- touch the config files). I noticed when I'm not in X, under SLS 99,
- I get console messages on the screen (ie, logging in as root).
-
- When under X nothing is going to the console window, it also doesn't
- repond to anything when in it. (is this normal?) I tried
- running a getty, but when xdm is started up, I can't login,
- it doesn't respond to any keyboard input.
