Subject: can't start xconsole in X for non-root user
Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1993 10:01:38 GMT

Hi there,
        I've been unable to get xconsole to open the console when
running X as a non-root user. The xconsole works fine for root or su
but not for normal user. I have done the following but no success:
                1) set root uid for xterm, xconsole, X386, xdm, xinit
                2) set perm for tty0 to be 'rw' for all
                3) /dev is now 'rwx' for all
        I'm currently running SLS's copy of Linux and Xfree 1.2. Can
someone enlighten me on this ?

Thanks in advance,
Wai-Ming Ho
