Don't do that. Use /etc/ttys if thats the effect you want.
Any good reason not to? I posted the a solution using ttys too, but
both required a sleep.
To the OP: run genkdmconf
Thanks to all. The issue has been resolved. I'll try and put all steps
in one little guide or howto (from zero to desktop in OpenBSD) so all
the info on building an obsd kde desktop can be found in one place.

Please do. I can use Macintosh and am learning to use FreeBSD, but
so far have only had some success with Packet Firewall on OpenBSD. I
learned how to bridge this afternoon. :)
I got the sources for 3.7 and Ports okay, but have not been abled
to run X yet. I am not sure whether to do this:
# rm -rf /usr/Xbld
# mkdir -p /usr/Xbld
# cd /usr/Xbld
# lndir ../XF4
[...lots of output...]
# make build
[...lots of output...]
There is not a directory called XF4?
Apparently, I was not very good with 3.7/tools/ as well, because I had
to compile with:
# cd /usr/src/etc env DESTDIR=/ make distrib-dirs
Thanks,

starting kde on boot
Folk,
This one has me scratching my head:
I can boot into kdm, login as a regular user and have a stock X working.
I can type startx once I'm logged in and have kde up, but with no
mouse functionality.
The relevant section of /etc/rc.local reads thus:
#based on a solution posted by S.Marley
echo -n ' kdm'; (sleep 5; /usr/local/bin/kdm ${kdm_flags})
Kdm_flags is set in rc.local.conf
I have a .xsession file in ~ that has this line
exec startx
I have also tried startkde instead of startx in .xsession, but I cannot
get kde to come up once I'm logged in.
/etc/X11/xdm/xsession has been edited.
Any clues? something I've missed?
TIA

? Not sure about that one, if your mouse works in kdm.

no. You would not put startx in .xsession. you would put exec
startkde or exec wmaker for example. Then upon running startx on
the shell, it would then execute your wm.
I have also tried startkde instead of startx in .xsession, but I cannot
get kde to come up once I'm logged in.
Thats right if your are going to use xdm. kdm will do all of that
malarky for you however. To summarize, if you want to use kdm,
.xsession is not relevant.
I think you need to tell us what exactly how you want your workstation
to behave.

Hi,
Since you are using KDE, did you run genkdmconf to create the kdm
configuration files (eg. /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession)?
HTH,

Yes, it's a kdm specific issue. It seems all gettys need to be spawned before kdm kicks in otherwise the keyboard doesn't work correctly or the X server shows up on the wrong console. -- stephen
