@Roger Brown: Launching Xephyr -fp /path/to/fonts,/path/to/otherfonts ... -listen tcp -ac :1 DISPLAY=xepyrserver:1 /usr/dt/bin/Xsession Gives a nice desktop

First, thank you all for the suggestions to try I compiled the latest version on Netbsd 9.2 (commit id 71f46b5a56876a1064358e9bf23a8dd1c8835387, Mon 20 Dec). The problem is still exactly the same as before. The package pam-pwauth_suid is installed. It all compiles fine. What i do: Start /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon The config /etc/dt/config/Xservers commented out the server # :0 Local local@console /usr/X11R7/bin/X :0 Verified the dtlogin process runs Using Xephyr i can connect to the netbsd machine,...

Current master build (17 Dec 2021) still has this exact same problem. If somebody wants to investigate, let me know what kind of logging is needed. If i need to support in some way by following and testing out a certain install procedure, building, whatever ,i want support in this. Thanks for anyone working on CDE, it is still a great desktop.

It all compiles out of the box, but one thing does not work: When running dtlogin -daemon, then connecting via X server to it we can see the login banner. When logging in, the screen goes black, to return back to the login screen after a few seconds. It seems to mee that /usr/dt/bin/Xsession is not run. If i login via ssh, exporting the DISPLAY to a X...
