Your mention of Arcan led me to this article: 
https://arcan-fe.com/2018/04/25/towards-secure-system-graphics-arcan-and-openbsd/

which suggests Arcan can run on OpenBSD,with DRM, without X11.

Well, there are other display servers like Wayland, or projects like Arcan 
(https://github.com/letoram/arcan). Haven't heard of any of them running 
outside X11 on OpenBSD though.

Probably not. The X sets in base are an integral part of the whole
operating system. You install them whether or not you use X.

DRM without X

Hello misc,

Is there any way to use the DRM drivers without X11 ?
