I'm not sure exactly when, but at some point something appears to have changed. These days I find I generally have to have my monitor plugged into my OpenBSD boxes while they're booting if I want to get the correct resolution otherwise I get 640x480 (previously I'm reasonably sure that X used to respect my preferred resolution no matter what). This works across the board: on my KVM switch I have to ensure the monitor focus is on the booting box; on my laptops I have to boot the machine plugged into the data projector etc. I use KDM as well, but I've tried turning that off and the same thing (unsurprisingly) has happend - I don't think it has anything to do with KDM in my case at least.
