I think the only problem is to check the permnissions of /dev/console... let they be 755 , and everything will work with xconsole, as it is probably a bad idea to suid this program...

Another trick can be to use a totally transparent ETerm that does a tail -f /var/log/messages , so you'll have the messages appearing right in your root window... Of course, that means you want to look at all the messages your system sends to "you" ; which is in my sense not a bad habit...

Re: Accent on US keyboard
I suggest you should have a look at the X Keyboard Extension protocol (XKbd) : it's been developed by SGI, after all. This is a way to get your beloved keybord map at a X session-level rather than on a per-application basis...

Re: LyX to Adobe PDF
Here is a copy of what I mailed to John yesterday: :-) This was already discussed in a thread some days ago. You should look at the archives for the full thing. Alll options are about creating PostScript (which is what LaTeX is supposed to do after all) and then converting it to PDF. Have a look at Acrobat Distiller , or at ghostscript (free!) ...

Re: spell checker
Which is almost certainly _not_ a problem: the "s" is for usual British language the "z" is for usual American language The spelling you choose is entirely on your mind, whatever the default would be in your spellchecker...

Re: Install lyx
Or you should try finding this file ( 'find / -name "*xforms*" -print ' ), then add the directory where it resides as a line in /etc/ld.so.conf , and run 'ldconfig' . Looking into a cahded list of whatever libraries were found in the directories listed in ld.so.config is the way the dynamic loader will search for libraries under Linux (before LD_LIBRARY_PATH values, of course). The point is that this way, you should never have to deal with long strings as environment variables...
