Er, right. whoops.  I meant "comment out".  With CONSOLE_DEVICES 
commented out:

grid-8:~# ps auxww | grep condor
root     14830  0.0  0.0  52276   744 pts/0    S+   17:11   0:00 grep condor
grid-8:~# condor_config_val -v CONSOLE_DEVICES
Not defined: CONSOLE_DEVICES
grid-8:~# /etc/init.d/condor start
Starting condor:                                           [  OK  ]
grid-8:~# tail -4 /opt/condor/local.grid-8/log/StartLog
3/2 17:13:09 Failed to obtain keyboard or mouse idle information.
3/2 17:13:09 Assuming the keyboard and mouse to be infinitely idle.
3/2 17:13:39 Failed to obtain keyboard or mouse idle information.
3/2 17:13:39 Assuming the keyboard and mouse to be infinitely idle.
grid-8:~#

Even when I do uncomment with the following (that is, make it active), I 
get the same result:

CONSOLE_DEVICES = console
