I think this way can help you:
1. Configure the console:
On /etc/syslog.conf there should be a line with the following:
kern.* /dev/console
Set that line according to your requirements. The documentation is in
man 5 syslog.conf
2. Restart syslogd
Restart syslogd by:
/etc/rc.d/initd.syslogd restart
3.start xconsole
You start xconsole by entering in an xterm
xconsole -daemon
There you should have the console in a new window
