Hello!

I'm hoping somebody can help me with a problem I'm having with
xconsole.  I'm running a Debian 1.1 system and have recently upgraded
to XFree86 3.2, but I was having the exact same problem before as
well.

When I run 'xconsole' as a non-root user, I get the following message
(inside the xconsole window):

        Couldn't open console

/dev/console is linked to /dev/tty1, which I believe is the first
virtual terminal, and indeed, console messages appear there, instead
of in the xconsole window.

Anybody have any idea what to do with this conundrum?
