How are folks using X terminals currently handling the 'ownership' of /dev/conso
Since there are occasional programs which either write to the console (and at
least one or two that I have seen which ask for INPUT from the console), it
seems like this is going to be a problem for folks trying to run multiple X
terminals off a common processor.  AND, if that machine is also being used
for serial ASCII terminals as well, a 'real' console may be needed as well!
