Hi Lu, at a guess it could be that your hardware needs a graphics driver that requires root to run... since the Xorg security bug ... OpenBSD dont support graphics drivers that require root privileges to run... (or something like that) ... as Christer suggested... dmesgs need to be included in requests /feedback (especially about hardware) hope this helps,
