Re: [dwm] OpenBSD 4.1 issues with DWM
Yeah I can't kill X at all. I've tried all the above methods. I will try changing my xorg.conf to a simple vesa or framebuffer driver and see if that helps. This is by the way on a PPC machine so I guess X drivers for this still has some problems. I will keep you posted.

Re: [dwm] OpenBSD 4.1 issues with DWM
dwm runs fine on OpenBSD 4.1 and on a recent snapshot. Its prolly a problem with the driver as Tobias said. On 7/29/07, Amit [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah I can't kill X at all.

Re: [dwm] OpenBSD 4.1 issues with DWM
Amit, I just did a fresh install of OpenBSD 4.1 release and dwm 4.3 within parallels on my mac. I also applied my various patches and everything works great. I would take Tobias suggestions and look into the X driver you are using. It seem to be more hardware related or possibly a miss configuration. Good luck. -- James Turner BSD Group Consulting http://www.bsdgroup.org
