Tim Howe, are you still on this list?  Ever get X working on that
BookPC w/OpenBSD?

The i810 based Debian box at work started mysteriously freezing.
I thought it was a bad combo with konqueror and acroread, but then
it started happening more and more often.  Then it froze when
I was untarring the kernel sources.  I decided the disk was going bad.

So I had a choice to make.  Reinstall Debian, or try to get X working
with OpenBSD and that i810 chip.  Guess what?  It's working!  (OK,
after X starts the other VTs are too dim to read, but that's a known
problem with X4 < 4.2.0 & wscons.)

I used the patches at 
http://www.sergey-smitienko.com.ua/files/patch.v2.tar.gz and a little
experimentation/intuition.
