>Description:
	None of the sparc config file mention "options UCONSOLE",
	so i needed to look at the tty sources to understand 
	why xconsole only worked for root.
	This option is required at last for xconsole.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to run xconsole as user other than root on a GENERIC kernel.
>Fix:
	Add :
	options UCONSOLE  # allow non-root user to grab the console,
			  # required at last for xconsole
	In the GENERIC config file. Could be commented out, but should
	be mentionned.
