Could you please explain what's your problem?
I don't see any need for what you ask because when I run
xconsole without or with parameters, it simply does what
it should: it displays the console messages that otherwise
would appeared on the standard console device (the virtual
terminal ttyv0.)
Have you defined UCONSOLE in your kernel config file?
This means users can grab the console - if you're missing
it, this could be a problem.
Here's my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0:
#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: Xsetup_0,v 1.3 93/09/28 14:30:31 gildea Exp $
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail
Bye,
Martin
