Hi

I'm running FreeBSD-1.0 RELEASE and XFree86-2.0 with
Mach8-Server and syscons.

in /etc/tty's are only ttyv[0-4]=on (no vga no console)

under X someone has stolen my keyboard (aprox. after 2 hours),
i've got my mouse and downed my X.
arrived on my console keyboard is ok, startx,
everything ok.

without X and nobody is logged in:
after some hours i'm logging in and my
tcsh says: no access to tty: inapropiate ioctl for device,
no job control. 
Hmmmm logging out and in again, everything ok.

Whats this?



Next Problem: 

syscons and xconsole:
on console:
  mesg n
  startx
in .xinitrc:
  xconsole &
  xterm &
  twm &
under X:
  under root:
    xconsole runs ok, floppy errors are displayed, but no
    talk-requests.
  under other users:
    xconsole says "cant open console" and displays nothing
    (/dev/console is rwxrwxrwx) (i dont know why i put "x" on this device)

any suggestions?


Bis denne ... Lars!
