I can't figure out how to see console messages while I'm using X (I'm using Gnome, if it matters). I do recall that it was straightforward on earlier releases of Debian, but I can't recall how it was done.
Now if I start xconsole after logging in, it displays an error "Can't open console". I tried putting `xconsole &' at the end of /etc/gdm/Init/Default, but that only displayed a blank console while the login: prompt was visible. I imagine I'm missing something obvious ... any ideas?
