Hey Xers,
I can get most X clients to work, but no xterm. Xterm reports something
like "child: cannot find any available pty". I know this from the stderr
that I redirect to a file. Now I have all 16 ttyp's and ptyp's, and they
are the correct major/minor numbers. I have also upped the number of
pty's to 16 as someone suggested. No go... the xterms just don't come
up. Why can't the xterm find the /dev/ptyp's or /dev/ttyp's ???? They
are right there !!!! (Permissions are fine ... I'm root)
Also, I compiled xconsole... all went ok ... but when I run it, it says,
can't open console.... xterm I downloaded from banjo, and xconsole I hardly
modified.... What am I doing wrong?
