Does "startx" work?  Does letting XDM start on boot (and thus handle
the X11 startup) work?

I can try reproducing on my own Powerbook G4 (which is currently
running 5.7 and can use an upgrade to 6.0 anyway), but...

That's peculiar.  My own Powerbook seems to be lacking the "not
configured" line.  Maybe something changed there between 5.7 and 6.0?

Looks like you've got a NVIDIA card, whereas mine has an ATI card
(relevant dmesg line: 'radeondrm0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 "ATI Radeon
Mobility M10" rev 0x00').  That might be part of the problem (OpenBSD
and NVIDIA go together like milk and orange juice), and will certainly
affect my ability to help pin down your troubles.

Regardless, your full Xorg.0.log might be useful for someone smarter at
X11 troubleshooting than me.
