hello, it seems that we need to use ttyE0 as login terminal
to use X11, if we attempt to start X as non-root user.
to achieve this, it was necessary for me to:
- add "wscons=YES" to /etc/rc.conf. it actually generates many
warnings due to the lack of multiscreen support.
- change /etc/ttys to something like below.
console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt100 off secure
ttyE0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt100 on secure
i'm not sure if it is the right thing to do, or what is the best
configuration for default /etc files.
anyway, Xhpc works just GREAT for me, thank you for the efforts.
