I don't know if this is the (only) problem, but by default Owl creates
device files for 8 vty's only. You need to either use a lower vty for
X or create /dev/tty9 with:
david!root:~# cd /dev
david!root:/dev# ./MAKEDEV tty9
david!root:/dev# ls -l !$
ls -l tty9
crw------- 1 root tty 4, 9 Nov 30 01:50 tty9

Now this is weird. I'm curious what error code the ioctl's return.
