The issue with XDM is that the user would need to log in.
Ideally this machine is to be used as a permanently logged in terminal with a GUI and interactive application running. (twm was just a simple example)
I used to use FreeBSD for this (put a similar script in '/etc/rc.d' and it worked well), unfortunately OpenBSD better supports the hardware than FreeBSD, thus the change.
Is there a way to forcefully attach a tty/pty before I call xinit (or startx)?
On another note I am also concerned that my clone of CDE's dtlogin is going to have problems with OpenBSD because it uses a similar method of starting up.
