Probably, '"run-xconsole" line in my /etc/X11/config' merely allows one to run "xconsole" in an X session. Note in /etc/syslog.conf: # The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility. To use it, # you must invoke `xconsole' with the `-file' option: # # $ xconsole -file /dev/xconsole [...] # Automatically? Run "xconsole -file /dev/xconsole" from ~/.xinitrc or some other X Window startup routine. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jack Kern Yarmouth, Nova Scotia Debian GNU/Linux
