Hi Freddy, Alright, I was running startx pretty happily with an .xinitrc to set up programs started, terminal positions & everything, then along comes the notorious fix and now, it's renamed to .xsession, and xenodm starts it. But now I have to log twice to the console and then again log in to the X display manager, which I totally don't like having to do, a nuisance. The console is used ironically to setup & add ssh agent keys, before X. So that the agent could persist and be used regardless of the X server. With the help of the tips from this thread, now it's back to manual log at the console and running the x alias to start the session. All good. https://man.openbsd.org/xenodm#RESOURCES DisplayManager.*.autoLogin DisplayManager.*.terminateServer The only issue is, these sets of complexities called xenodm, needlessly just because people want to log in a Windows graphical display manager. I just have no use for this login manager stuff, and never had any use, of desktop environments complex dysfunctional distro style all mixed up graphical 'experience'. Plain cwm, simplest X setup and it just works. It would be nicer if we could run X with a session file WITHOUT xenodm. Not sure your suggested xinit is not a fall through of the setuid bug.. 2018-10-26 setuid bit removed from /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg The Xorg binary is no longer installed setuid. So startx(1) can no longer be used by non-root users. The xenodm(1) display manager has to be used.
