Just a late follow-up because I just stumbled upon this, too...
I'm experiencing the very same behaviour with OpenBSD 7.4 in UTM 4.4.4:
By default, the VM has the following "emulated display card" set in its
settings:
"virtio-ramfb". When I "startx" I also get a *blank* (opaque black,
nothing visible) screen. The other possible display cards will not work
(either
the VM not booting at all, or the VM hanging on boot).
The last lines in my Xorg.0.log look like this:
[ 51.803] (**) /dev/wsmouse: always reports core events
[ 51.805] (II) ws: /dev/wsmouse: debuglevel 0
[ 51.806] (**) Option "Device" "/dev/wsmouse"
[ 51.813] (**) ws: /dev/wsmouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
[ 51.813] (**) ws: /dev/wsmouse: WAxisMapping: buttons 6 and 7
[ 51.815] (**) ws: /dev/wsmouse: associated screen: 0
[ 51.817] (II) ws: /dev/wsmouse: minimum x position: 0
[ 51.817] (II) ws: /dev/wsmouse: maximum x position: 1279
[ 51.817] (II) ws: /dev/wsmouse: minimum y position: 0
[ 51.817] (II) ws: /dev/wsmouse: maximum y position: 799
[ 51.818] (==) ws: /dev/wsmouse: Buttons: 7
[ 51.818] (**) ws: /dev/wsmouse: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
[ 51.818] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "/dev/wsmouse"
(type: MOUSE, id 8)
[ 51.819] (**) /dev/wsmouse: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1
[ 51.819] (**) /dev/wsmouse: (accel) acceleration profile 0
[ 51.819] (**) /dev/wsmouse: (accel) acceleration factor: 2.000
[ 51.819] (**) /dev/wsmouse: (accel) acceleration threshold: 4
[ 51.823] (EE) wsfb(0): error in WSDISPLAY_SVIDEO Operation not
supported
I did not (yet) find a solution for this, either.
