Use xenodm like startx?

Hi,

I just got OpenBSD installed on my new laptop, and so far, it works great. But since I applied the latest X11 patch, I can no longer use startx to launch X11, unless I do it as root, which probably isn't a good idea. Seems like I have to use xenodm.

The thing is, xenodm is so complicated in comparison to a simple .xinitrc + startx. There are so many files I need to set up that I hardly know where to begin.

I don't want a login screen, I don't want X11 to launch at startup. I just want to start X manually from a simple .xinitrc. Surely I can't be alone.

Any ideas or tips?

Best regards
John
