I have no idea if there is an issue with devfs, but are you sure
xconsole is trying to read from the correct device? By default, I think
it tries to read /dev/console, but it should use /dev/xconsole (which is
a FIFO). "xconsole -file /dev/xconsole" You need to have permission to
read /dev/xconsole as well ("adduser <you> adm").
