I've given up on #OpenBSD already. Simple install, X works with #twm and #xfce but is a bitch with #plasma . No configurations work even with the kde-plasma hints for .xinitrc and .xsession. Just a grey launch screen with a mouse pointer in middle of the screen. This is in version 7.9 and also 8.0
ulimits, kernel file handlers, locale changes made. nothing works.
Has anyone a working .xinitrc file?
#fediHelp
Works perfectly on #FreeBSD 15.1
