Juan,
Re console:
Is there not even console graphics on the ARM boards yet, so only serial
interface?
Re X:
Using open-source drivers only, you can actually run X on the Mali GPU:s
(i.e. the chips in most ARM:s), unaccelerated.
Here's a video showing this on an EOMA68-A20 board in some Linux:
https://youtu.be/iM4cDjGY9vY?t=180 .
The low speed of the A20 CPU results in some flickering when switching
windows and tabs. I think on the modern ~2Ghz ARM:s e.g. RK3399, as its
single-thread and memory speed is approx 5x that of the A20, the
unaccelerated X should provide a perfect desktop experience (web
browsing, openoffice etc., anything except video decoding).
It would be super ultra cool to be able to do this on OpenBSD some day.

No, we don't have graphical support for the ARM boards yet.
Try with a "standard" (i.e. without special drivers) touch screen and
i386/amd64.
