I've recently seen there is now a display driver for BBB, but after
having installed OpenBSD 6.4 on my BBB, I don't succeed to make it work.
I plugged the screen before booting (as written in amdisplay's man
page), but it remains black on boot.
amdisplay(4) does not yet attach the system console, however, I am
going to revisit this and see what it would involve to do that. I'll
ping this thread back in a few days with my results.
You should know that because the USB host controller is not supported
on the BBB (it is some non EHCI compliant OTG thing) amdisplay(4) is a
bit useless since you cannot attach a keyboard/mouse, and without
those, Xenocara will not easily start due to the lack of a input
device.

amdisplay/nxphdmi drivers don't appear in the "supported hardware"
sections of armv7 docs :
Are they not stable enough to be listed ?
Or are they supposed to work flawlessly ? (In this case, I would be very
happy if someone gives me some pointers to make my display work)
amdisplay(4) is stable and working. With e.g. a remote X session you
can use amdisplay. I use x2x for this purpose:

Great news !
Many thanks for these explanations and ideas.
I'll do a lot more testing... :)
