Description bourne.identity@hotmail.com 2016-08-26 12:15:24 UTC 
As root, I chmod'ed a+r and a+w for /dev/console
As normal user, I then ran 'xconsole -file /dev/console'

In theory, my xconsole window should now be grepping the console
messages. But when I switch on/off my USB scanner/printer, no output appears
in the xconsole window.

Is this still an issue?
