I've installed OpenBSD 4.6 on
hw.vendor=Apple Computer, Inc.
hw.product=PowerMac3,5
hw.physmem=1073741824
hw.usermem=1073729536
The OS runs fine, however, certain X desktop environments seem to not
want to cooperate.
Of the 3, KDE seems to run the best, however, the audio is broken.
When I first login, the login wav starts playing but then after 1
second starts playing noise. It would be nice to have audio (maybe
KDE can somehow play through aucat?).
Gnome looks really great, but after a few seconds becomes unresponsive
to key clicks or keyboard typing. Only way out is ctrl-alt-backspace.
XFCE also starts up fine, but after a few second also becomes
unresponsive much like gnome and needs ctrl-alt-backspace.
Is there something wrong with these X environments on powerpc?
WindowMaker works as always, but I wanted to try out other
options. :-)
Here is a dmesg:

If someone has run KDE, Gnome, or XFCE successfully on powerpc I would
appreciate any pointers if something special was required to get them
working smoothly.
Cheers.
