Subject: [gentoo-user] xconsole characters

Hi,
Does anyone know if there's a way to configure xconsole to not display
control characters (at least that's what I think it is)? Currently
xconsole displays this when XDM starts:
[32;01m*[0m Setting clock via the NTP client 'ntpdate' ...
[A[152C [34;01m[ [32;01mok[34;01m ][0m
[32;01m*[0m Starting postfix (/etc/postfix) ...
[A[152C [34;01m[ [32;01mok[34;01m ][0m
I've tried google but it seems my search skills are somewhat lacking...
or noone else has this problem.
The file where xconsole is started:
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
... which contains this:
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed \
-exitOnFail
#xterm -C -geometry 480x130-0-0 -fn fixed -title "Xconsole"
Which doesn't really make it any clearer... I've tried to switch between
xconsole and xterm but the xterm one will expand and cover the whole
screen so that I can't see the login prompt...
I'm running a stable system and the xdm version installed is 1.1.8,
xconsole is 1.0.3-r1.
Any help is very much appreciated!
Merry Christmas!
Peter K
