This may be a permissions problem on your xterm binary. /usr/bin/X11/xterm is usually installed setuid root so that it can use the TIOCCONS ioctl to get console output (the -C flag). (Question: shouldn't the UCONSOLE kernel compile option make this unnecessary?) If that doesn't fix it, then try ktrace -i xterm and send us the results from kdump. -- Mike Long http://www.shore.net/~mikel VLSI Design Engineer finger mikel@shore.net for PGP public key Analog Devices, CPD Division CCBF225E7D3F7ECB2C8F7ABB15D9BE7B Norwood, MA 02062 USA (eq (opinion 'ADI) (opinion 'mike)) -> nil
