That is very strange - you're using syscons, you have only gettys
on /dev/ttyvXX, you're using XFree86 2.0...  Hmmmmmm!  It works
*great* for me!  It must be something else lurking in the background.
What else can you tell me about your setup?

       xconsole runs ok, floppy errors are displayed, but no
       talk-requests.

That's not for xconsole to do anyway - talk requests go directly to the
`users' logged in on vtys and xterms.

     under other users:
       xconsole says "cant open console" and displays nothing

Needs to be suid root!
