I see lots of references to "musl", which I assume you're using. I wonder if there's an incompatability somewhere there. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

Hi all, I just recently setup a new desktop with Gentoo. After the install and configuration of Xorg, I decided to 'startx' and open xterm in fvwm. Upon pressing the button to launch it, nothing came up. When closing fvwm, I saw the following message being printed ad nauseam to the screen: open ttydev: I/O error Online searches led me to inconclusive info on what could be the cause and fix for the issue. I'd be glad to provide info as required. Best regards, vhns
