Re: OpenBSD 4.1 amd64 - X11 problems

I found that i'm not the only one having problems with X11.

For me it turns out to be completely unuseable. The keyboard driver is
sending continuesly 'k' characters to the xterm, the whole startup of
X11 takes two minutes (on an AthlonX2 4400) and after this it is also
extremely slow.

Have you tried replacing the keyboard?

Worst of all, it seems that network is also not working anymore (maybe
a problem with my hardware) but i can't login via ssh and just kill
the OS.

Seems that this release is far from being prime time useable. Don't
have any problems with the i386 (on a Matrox G450 instead the
Radeon7000 of the 64bit machine) build, only the 64bit one is instable.

While I have had some problems with 4.1, I've had no problems like you are
encountering. I know that my system was rooted at some point while I was
running 4.0 and I think most of the problems were the result of exploits.

I'm runnin 64-bit Openbsd 4.1 on a 3500+ Athlon64 and starting up kde takes
something on the order of 10-15 seconds. I have made xterm the default console
driver and I have no problems with it.

Did you install from 4.1 cdroms or something else?

My graphics card is a radeon x550. The motherboard is a k9n neo.
