8 Hi Victor,

10 This sounds like you're having issues with device
11 permissions. You might be able to use "strace xterm"
12 to figure out where things get messed up. AFAIK
13 xterm will connect to /dev/tty and your user will have to
14 have rw permissions for it to do so. If your permissions
15 are different try to chmod them.
