I've given up on #OpenBSD already. Simple install, X works with #twm and #xfce but is a bitch with #plasma . No configurations work even with the kde-plasma hints for .xinitrc and .xsession. Just a grey launch screen with a mouse pointer in middle of the screen. This is in version 7.9 and also 8.0
ulimits, kernel file handlers, locale changes made. nothing works.
Has anyone a working .xinitrc file?
Works perfectly on #FreeBSD 15.1

You may have found them already, but if not check the docs in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readme (I think).
@FritzAdalis Thanks. i did this to generate the recommended .xinitrc file for plasma. it didn't work.on version 7.9 or 8.0. theres no difference with .xsession launching through xenodm either.
messagebus seems to be the standard daemon but dbus is still in use by plasma. file and kernel limits are all raised too
.
I've done a complete reinstall, checked my signature file ISO and still no plasma joy.
It really shouldn't be this hard! xfce works just fine so my xorg is all good.
