Pls don't mix the terms DISPLAY and tty.
The things on tty9 (or isn't it 10?) are
pretty much the same as in /var/log/messages.
e.g.
# tail -f /var/log/messages

ok thanx.. but that doesn't
seem to help .. I've a programm running that
is writing his output to
tty9 (sry, but I'm really new to linux - what's the difference
between tty and display ??
):
If I'm sitting in front of
the computer I can see that output if I press ctrl - alt F9.
with ctr - alt F10 I can see
the output you described with /var/log/messages
hope you understand what I
mean ! (my english is isn't very good at all)
I appreciate any
help...

Please don't toppost and dont't send HTML.
A display always refers to a resource handled by the Xserver,
while a tty is a non-graphical terminal device.
I can't remember a program writing to tty9, so maybe you
redirected it's output there yourself?
Try to redirect it to somewhere else (file, stdout, ...).
Or maybe it has a config file where you can set the
output destination.
