This machine was out of service for several weeks. When it re-entered
service with 2 new spinning disks, OpenBSD was reinstalled from a
slightly outdated install77.img. It was promptly <sysupgrade'd -s> and
current- new packages were installed. Since then, 2 more
'sysupgrade -s' and 'pkg_add -Dsnap -uv' cycles have occurred.
>From re-entry to service the machine will not enter the X Windows System.
When the system is booted with /etc/rc.conf.local containing
xenodm_flags=""
[ ... ]
and the correct login name and password are entered at the graphical
login screen, the system briefly pauses then re-displays the login
screen with empty login fields.
The remainer of this mail concentrates only on 'startx'.
When 'startx' is invoked on this machine from ttyC0 it consistently
fails.
File ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log does not contain at least one
statement when 'startx' is invoked from ttyC0 i.e.:
Unsupported opcode: v1: :v[2] = v_lshlrev_b16 8,
:v[2]
that is displayed on ttyC0 as the invocation fails. See the recorded
output from /usr/bin/script below.
