/dev/ttyC4

I definitely did test on
OpenBSD
before release, so it does work... though myOpenBSD
VM is ancient.Xdummy fails to start because of permission issues on the console, reverting to Xvfb will workaround the problem. (see examples in your
/etc/xpra/xpra.conf
)I have no idea why
Xorg
would fail to start with console permission issues onOpenBSD
. Maybe Xorg is a wrapper, or maybe it doesn't work properly when used as non-root user? (looks like anOpenBSD
problem to me)
