con-ux is an L4 server that provides virtual graphical consoles. If you want 
to run con-ux on Fiasco-UX with graphics support, you also need the ux_con 
binary as Adam explained. However, the TPM emulator itself does not depend on 
graphical output and you can therefore compile Fiasco-UX without support for 
the virtual framebuffer. In this case, you do not need ux_con (and con-ux 
won't work of course).

Carsten
