Hi,
To display messages from fvwm on a workstation, I used to use
xconsole. I believe that fvwm2 has a module, FvwmConsole, which gets
started by default, that performs a similar function.
I am now using fvwm2 to manage an X-terminal screen, but of course,
/dev/console is not readable by me, and even if it were, it would have
everybody else's messages too.
How can I achieve a similar effect?
Currently my .xsession (which is run by xdm) logs *some* of the messages
to a file, but others such as
fbconsole: open /dev/console: Permission denied
go to /var/tmp/xdm-errors.
My question is really threefold:
1. Why do the messages go to different places, ie. why are the
fbconsole (presumably fbconsole == FvwmConsole?) messages immune
to my redirect?
2. How do I get all of the messages to go to the same place, and
3. How do I display them in a window on my X-terminal?
If anyone could answer any or all of these questions, it would be most
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tim.
