Sysupgrade to 6.6 worked, as I wrote earlier, but I am having a problem using Xfce. Screen freezes after a few minutes of use, cursor still moves but nothing reacts - I can’t open, close or move anything.
As long as I can see the screen I can still switch to console and CLI works, including shutting down. If the screen goes blank, which it sometimes does after a few minutes, then I’m stuck doing a hard shutdown. If I sign in instead with the default fvwm, I am not getting freezes. I see there is lots to look into between Xorg and Xfce, with my strongest suspicion at the moment a setting to add to an xorg conf file (10-radeon...conf, not at my computer right now) or something to do with the addition of screensaver to the latest Xfce... but I still need to dig into log and error files, and man xorg.conf, and readmes, and xfce documentation, and internet searches. I might be at this for awhile. I’ll report back what I find, but I would be interested to hear if anyone else runs into a similar Xfce problem after upgrading to or installing 6.6. TKS |

Disclaimer: I'm not an Xfce-user
Your screen problem might be related to that new screensaver function: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=157149480408910&w=2 See also: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/tree/COMPOSITOR#n114 and the package readme as mentioned in the message on misc@ |

Code:
$ xfwm4 --replace --vblank=off & I tried the above only after trying a couple of other things (disabling hardware acceleration [EDIT: and DRI] in a couple of xorg.conf.d files and internet browsers; playing around screensaver settings but not trying to disable it) that didn't fix the problem.

These are personal servers. My $DAYJOB does not involve OpenBSD.
At the moment, the servers consist of a pair of firewalls using carp(4), two mail servers (a VPS for bastion, and a local server). The test server acted as a QA server for a production Wordpress VPS that has been mothballed. I am keeping the QA server up-to-date just in the event of a future production relaunch. |

After more reading and trial and error (and error, and error), the only way I've found to stop this is to turn off compositing. Next: get Catfish working... TKS |
