What is it meant to log - as far as > I can tell it just stays empty . . . That depends. It usually just outputs what is piped into /dev/xconsole. If nothing is piped in there, it won't display anything. But in most cases the syslog daemon is configured to output some message classes, if not all, to this device as well (additional to outputting to the log file and /dev/console). So it depends on syslog configuration whether syslog messages show up here. Other programs w/ the corresponding rights on /dev/xconsole can pipe their stuff there, too, of course. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
