I've had a series of errors : parse_vt_settings : can't open /dev/tty0 (permission denied) after adding my user to 'tty input' in 'group' : can't open virtual console 7 : permission denied after adding 'elogind' to 'default' runlevel & starting it : xf86EnableIO : failed to enable I/O ports 0000-03ff (operation not permitted) yes, my user is in the 'video' group & 'xorg-server' has USE="elogind" . In my current machine, there is a /dev/fb0 with permission 660 . but there is no such device in the new machine. I've looked at several "solved" cases of the same error messages, but they don't seem to help my problem. Can anyone offer possible solutions ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
