I certainly get this logged in /var/log/messages. Perhaps check your settings?

I dunno if this goes more in an X window mailing list, but hopefully you
guys can help
How do I put a terminal in the background of my X display (ie a window, full
screen, no border, transparent), I dont even need to be able to type, I just
want to be able to see system shutdown notices and the likes.
Does it matter what window manager im using? (icewm)
thanks
Do a search for roottail or root-tail - I think it's in the ports. It's a
small app that tails a file on your root X window. You can tail
/var/log/messages to pick up system notices and such like.
Should do exactly what you're after.
HTH
Peter Harrison.
