I think you can have your program working in xterms with the next hack: Find out which tty's are used by your program. Say you find /dev/tty02 and /dev/tty03. Remove those devices from /dev/ (move them to a subdirectory or rename them). Open new xterms and see which tty's they use (inside them, type `tty`) Create a softlink from /dev/tty02 and /dev/tty03 to the tty's of the Xterms. Now run your program and see what you get in the xterms. Some details: Better not to rename the console device that is used by the system. /dev/console is on most systems a softlink to /dev/tty00 or such. The terminal type of the origional tty's will differ from the xterm so the view might not be perfect. If the origional terminal type is `vt100` (most likely on PC based hardware) then try to find xvt, a xterm like terminal emulator that mimics the vt100. As noted above, considder this as a hack, if you get some results, try to make a nice script that sets and resets the situation. As with hacking, some chops mis the target and might chop into something valuable. Hence no guaranties...
