I didn't expect those perms to matter w/ Xorg -configure -keepPriv.
With the perms on /dev/drm[0-3] set so that you own them, what happens
when you don't use the -configure and -keepPriv options?
Thanks. I see the root screen. Cursor tracks mouse. ctl-alt-backspace
transitions cleanly to text mode. I've appended the typescript, associated
Xorg.0.log and dmesg.
(You don't say why you use -configure, so I'll just quote Matthieu
I was expecting better than 1024x768 resolution and the X11 section of the faq
<http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq11.html#amd64i386example> suggested Xorg
-configure.
Herb from July 2012(!):
Also forget about X -configure. It's known to be more or less broken and
nowadays
you don't need an xorg.conf file to run X in most cases.

I'll stop using X -configure. Other recommendations for getting better
resolution?
xrandr(1) and mode lines from cvt(1) or gtf(1) might give you better
resolution. cvt has solved resolution issues for me where gtf failed.

PS in theory you can just put the mode lines in xorg.conf - but I didn't
have much luck trying that approach...
