[gentoo-dev] Getting rid of "Console log for $HOSTNAME" at X startup

[gentoo-dev] Getting rid of "Console log for $HOSTNAME" at X startup

[Viktor Lakics]

Dear Gentooers,

I already asked this once on this list, but there were no takers. I thought I
give it another try. I am happily running RC5. Whenever I log in to X from kdm
(or for that matter, any other display manager) I end up with an open xterm
window in X, which says "Console log for myhostname". This might be important
for some kind of troubleshooting for x (???), but when everything is set up
correctly, it becomes a bit annoying...

How can I get rid of it?

Thanks in advance:   Viktor

Hmm .. did you get this without manually asking for it? If so that
sounds really odd.

Is it for every user or just one user? (try to log in as root and as
your ordinary user).

create/ see if you have a .xinitrc file.

If you still have the problem, try taking a look at 
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0  I believe that is the culprit with xdm.

Sorry.  I was about 3 weeks behind on my gentoo-dev e-mail reading, and 
I missed the other thread that covered this already.  I am all caught up 
now, though.
