All,
I'm running OpenBSD 3.9 on my HP Omnibook 800CT 166. It's a bit underpowered
for GUIs, so I'm turning it into an X-terminal using GDM 2.6.0.9 (the
X-terminal server is running Linux GDM 2.14.0.1). I believe I've configured
everything correctly, but one annoying aspect is that I can no longer get to
the virtual terminals. Rather, I can get to the first one, but there's no
response to the keyboard. So it's essentially dead.
Everything else seems to work fine. I'm able to log in, log out, start
applications. Haven't tested sound yet. One lockup due to Mozilla (on the
X-terminal, not the X-terminal server).
Is this expected behavior? It's very irritating, especially since I did not
provide a way to log into my machine locally (my fault there :). And
selecting "Disconnect" or forcing a restart of GDM/X via Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
merely restarts the server.
I'm currently waiting to see if pulling the ethernet cable causes X to die
permanently after killing X via Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. If not, time to pull the
power cord and pop the battery :(. Any other options?
Thanks in advance!
