I should have said, I have the following: bsd# cat /etc/apm/suspend #!/bin/sh pkill -USR1 xidle and that file is executable.
Getting screen to lock on suspend with Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon
Hi- I've install OpenBSD 6.5 on my Lenovo Thinkpad X! carbon (5th gen). I have installed XFCE4 and have most features working well. One remaining issue is getting the screen to lock when the laptop lid is closed and the laptop suspends. The screen does not lock and just resumes to the XFCE4 desktop. I have the following in my .xsession: bsd$ cat .xsession xidle -timeout 300 -program "/usr/local/bin/slock" & Any help greatly appreciated. -- Trey Sizemore t...@fastmail.fm
Installing bootloader on first slice/partition of drive
I'm doing an install of openbsd 4.8 on a desktop machine with 3 SATA drives. I want to use the 2nd drive (sdb in linux, sd1 on openbsd). This is a multi-boot machine, so I don't want to install the bootloader on the MBR, but would like to install it on the first slice/partition of sd1. In that case, should I choose to use the entire disk (previously home to a linux install that I no longer want to use) and am I then able to choose where to install the bootloader? -- Cheers, Trey I've touch'd the highest point of all my greatness; And from that full meridian of my glory I haste now to my setting.

OpenBSD 3.9 as a desktop
I received my OpenBSD 3.9 CD set today and did the initial install with no problem. Now, I'd like to set this box up for desktop use. The CD's include a number or i386 packages including a number of kde packages, such as kdebase, kdelibs, kdeedu, and kdegames. I want to setup kde with kdm when I login. Eventually , I'd like to add gnomestuff to this as well. At this point, I've got kdm working when the box starts, and I can choose KDE from the kdm session menu, but when I login, I get what looks to be twm (or some other minimilist window manager). I have installed the 4 KDE packages from the OpenBSD 3.9 disk. I've also created a ~/.xinitrc file for my user account and put 'exec startkde' in that file. Following the instructions at www.openbsdsupport.org/obsd_desktop I'm able to get xdm up at startup (nice little Puffy icon and Welcome screen) but there does not appear to be a way to get to choose what session to start. I have added the sessions to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession as listed on that page and added xdm_flags="" to /etc/rc.conf.local. I can manually run /usr/local/bin/startkde, so that *does* work. Just can't seem to choose to launch it from xdm (or kdm/gdm, but I haven't gotten that far yet ;-) ) So, my question is, what did I leave out to get this working? Also, if there's a good "How to setup OpenBSD for the desktop" out there to point me to, that'd be great as well. Especially some of the things I've still got to do around fonts and the FontPath section of xorg.conf. -- Cheers, Trey San Francisco, n.: Marcel Proust editing an issue of Penthouse.
