Amd64 snapshot. Browser is conkeror with xulrunner engine.
After updating packages, out of the box, conkeror starts and
freezes. No input at all. I played a bit and opened it through
torsocks. Guess what? It works.
Since I cannot type, close, anything, that might not be con-
keror problem at all.
To report back.
After waiting a day for packages to be in association with snapshot,
it all installed fine.
Thanks all, who helped me to understand an issue.

Sorry to bother the list, but I got stranded after updating to
the latest snapshot, amd64.
Update went as usual. Tried to update packages, but it failed,
saying "because of libraries". Some reading and I decided to
delete packages with "pkg_delete -X". Unfortunatelly, it went
nowhere. I still
Updated to lattest shapshot from yesterday. The path pointed
to 5.8 directory, which did not exist. I changed it to correct
one, pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64 and installed just fine.
I need more time to see what makes me think that graphics acts
a bit different on this snapshot.

I updated to lattest snapshot, from the one, that still

Is there something that might trigger any problem, doing
manual removal? Too late, I
If it is intel 2000, it should work, just as on my current

To have it on, I had to go to bios and lower how much memory
I set for graphics. It might not be your case, but nothing
stops you to try out.
