Hi,
I'm running RHEL4U4 in a VE and attempting to startx in order to allow developers in India to display their desktops over a slow link using NoMachine (similar to VNC). A pre-req for doing this is that X is running.
[root@vz1 ~]# startx

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)[/B]
My dev/tty directory was created as follows
MAKEDEV tty pty
mknod -m 666 /dev/tty0 c 5 1
[root@vz1 ~]# ls -l /dev/tty*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5, 2 Nov 30 11:21 /dev/tty
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 1 Nov 30 11:39 /dev/tty0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 0 Nov 27 17:31 /dev/ttyp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 48 Nov 30 11:25 /dev/ttys0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 49 Nov 30 11:25 /dev/ttys1
: : :
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 3, 63 Nov 30 11:25 /dev/ttysf
I'm beginning to wonder whether the "cannot open /dev/tty0" is not actually the problem and really X is failing for some other reason
Thanks
Paul
