The response to my posting about how to implement a console under xdm was so HUGE that I've sent my patches to the moderator of comp.sources.x. Please note that these patches are in no way, shape or form official patches for xdm. Use them at your own risk! They will only work on systems that on which ioctl(tty, TIOCCONS, 0) will work. If you don't know, check with your local system guru. Also please note that I won't really be providing any support for these patches. Maybe in the future when (and if) I clean them up a bit :-) Oh, the patches that I posted are for X11r4. If you're running X11r3, drop me line and I'll send the alternate patches to you. regards... Chris. PS. for those of you who suggested xconsole, these patches were written way before then :-) +-------------------------------------------------+ | The ultimate profit-making juke-box: It plays | keane@ultima.cs.uts.oz | Kylie Minogue songs until you put money in it...| Beam me up Scotty. +-------------------------------------------------+ Disclaimer: These are my own opinions, but I'm insane.
