Re: [dwm] OpenBSD 4.1 issues with DWM

Yeah I can't kill X at all. I've tried all the above methods.

I will try changing my xorg.conf to a simple vesa or framebuffer
driver and see if that helps. This is by the way on a PPC machine so I
guess X drivers for this still has some problems.

I will keep you posted.
