I have recently installed OpenBSD-amd64 on my Intel Core2Duo, and all
was working fine under OpenBSD4.2.

When I upgraded to OpenBSD4.3, however, my IceWM freezes the X server:
to be precise, the WM comes up working just fine (showing the taskbar,
mouse moves, etc), and then, I hit Ctrl-Esc and select the top option
I have put in the menu: that is, I select "Xterm" with the cursor keys
and hit ENTER. Immediately, my Xorg jumps up to 100%, and even though
the mouse moves, I get no response from keys or anything. I have to
login over SSH from my laptop, and kill -9 the Xorg, and restart it.

I also attached to the Xorg with gdb, and this is a stack trace of
where it seems to be stuck:

(gdb) where

#9 0x000000000042dfb5 in main ()

Currently, I am forced to live inside FVWM (which works fine under
4.3, just as everything else I've tried so far: firefox, lots of
ports, even my own graphics apps (http://users.softlab.ntua.gr/
~ttsiod/).

I also updated to the last IceWM (cvs update -A in the usr/ports/x11/
icewm) and rebuild. It still freezes.

Any ideas on what to try next? I am eager to help debug this in any
way possible...

Thanassis.

P.S. I have already posted this to the port maintainer, but got no
reply so far. Sending this in hopes I am missing something trivial...

The port maintainer (Antoine Jacoutot) has replied: it seems that this
is an issue with the new Xorg that comes with 4.3. This is what he
said:

I willl test the patch myself when I get back home and report my
results here for future reference...

Thanassis.

Well, I don't need to get back home to report this - Antoine has
already tested it and this patch for Xenocara fixes the issue. Thanks,
Antoine!
