I should have provided an update. The issue did re-occur for me. Similar results as what you listed. Sway freezes instantly, FVWM and CMW after a short period of time with both Firefox and Chromium when accessing video content on YouTube. Badwolf seems to be okay, but I do not know if it is enabling GPU hardware acceleration.
I have not had the system freeze up when an external monitor is attached. Sway works, and web browsers all seem to work.
I did file a bug report, but I don’t know that I had enough information to take action on.
Just to get things updated: I now have it running nearly flawlessly on 7.8-CURRENT. (I didn’t run 7.8-RELEASE long enough to see if CURRENT is needed)
In Wayland, some applications seem unhappy - I cannot run Alacritty in a Sway session, for example, it just doesn’t start. No crashes or freezes though. And in my xenodm-cwm sessions everything “just works”.
Thanks, I put off working on this after I submitted the bug report. I’ll give it a fresh install over the weekend. Any issues with media content in a web browser such as Firefox or Chrome? My test was to open up YouTube Shorts and scroll through the videos. After a bit, the system would crash.
While not a fan of shorts, the rapid succession of videos makes for a good test here indeed. I just gave it two runs: first five minutes doomscrolling (I know, rookie numbers) in Firefox with no issue, and then i went and forced all accelerations to on (just in case something was lying to me) and did it again. No issues.
After a fresh install it seems much more stable with both Firefox and Chromium. Eventually, Chromium crashed and generated a memory error "Fatal process out of memory: Worklist::Segment::Create,” which I had not seen previously. GPU memory allocation in BIOS was set at the minimum (.5G), which I’ll bump up.
I’m happy not to visit the waste of electrons known as YouTube Shorts for a good while .
Ok so I updated to OpenBSD current. I only have one issue but its really bothersome. Much of the time, the trackpad is not even recognized. However, when i boot into a live linux usb the trackpad works. When i immediately after boot back into OpenBSD, the trackpad works until I reboot it again and I have to restart that process. Been very difficult to diagnose the issue. Have any of you seen this? Aside from that it works as it should though weirdly enough, not sure if you guys had difficulty with the keepassxc gui, was really random but i dont mind using the cli.
