Hi. On 6.4 (not 6.3 or snapshots i tried), the external mouse just
stops working, ~2 days after rebooting, multiple times. A reboot fixes
it, but just restarting X with Ctrl-Alt-Bksp does not fix it (though it
does seem to close/restart xenodm). I am not using the trackpad and
even while this
lling inkscape fixed it.

This happens in OpenBSD 6.4 but I'm fairly confident didn't happen in
6.3 (definitely didn't happen at some point in the recent past; I don't
recall if I tried this while I was using snapshots between 6.3 and 6.4):
If I start xfce4-terminal (either from xterm or the xfce4 "Run Program"
dialog),
I was running a snapshot from Sept 26, then upgraded yesterday to 6.4
release, and ran pkg_add -u and syspatch. Fortunately mutt runs
without X :) .
When I run "startx" I get errors like this (details in log below):

I think "man -K" would work on gnu/linux, but on OpenBSD you might have to:
cd /usr/share/man

cd /usr/local/man
and
grep -ir hostap *|less

Maybe someone else knows a better way though.
