Hi all,
Well, I've tried the info I've found with google and every source I can...but, no happiness.
I am running KDE on OpenBSD 3.4.
X seems to be installed and working. When the machine boots the X login screen comes up with the nice gui and a puffy fish graphic.
So far so good.
If I login, I get a an xterm window.
I had this problem myself after a dist-upgrade on Debian Linux, might be related.
Check your kdmrc file and see if the [X-*-Core] section looks something like this
[X-*-Core]
Setup=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup
Startup=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xstartup
Reset=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xreset
Session=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession
AllowRootLogin=false
AllowNullPasswd=false
AllowShutdown=Root
In particular, mine was missing the Setup, Startup, Reset, and Session bits. Readding them made it all start working right again. I'm not directly familiar with OpenBSD so some of the files may be in other places, but it's worth checking I'd say :)
