Yes, in my experience I use it with -Y.

Hello Allan,

it looks that, besides using openbsd as server in the cloud, it was quite a
while I wasn't running X on a client, actually it was xenodm the thing, now
I know.
I had formerly tried to start it manually as normal user (as well as
startx), but, reading updated faq, I discovered it's run as a service from
root.
Now everything works back. Unless for the fact which I discovered that,
with 256M RAM, no serious www browser runs anymore (at 6.2 still something
worked besides netsurf and dillo, a sign of the times!).

Btw, does "rcctl enable xenodm" also allow running programs remotely with
ssh -X|Y u...@obsd.box, or is there something more to do?

Thanks again and have a nice day!
Pasha

Are you using xenodm instead of startx? Beginning in 6.5, "Xorg(1), the
X window server, is no longer installed setuid. xenodm(1) should be used
to start X."

ATI Mobility 1 support on Dell Latitude L400

2020-04-17 Thread Paolo Aglialoro
Hello,

considering that 6.6 nuked X for my T23 as mentioned in previous recent
post, I decided to refresh my old Dell L400, which was lagging behind at
6.2, with a fresh 6.6 install.

Unfortunately X crashes. The first error in the log file was about setting
machdep.allowaperture=1 and rebooting (I always used 2 before). After
changing its value in sysctl.conf to 1, this is the new error in the log
file:

As far as I know from https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade66.html the ATI
driver shouldn't be in the recently killed ones, as I get from dmesg:
