OpenBSD uses the X.Org X server on macppc.
-The wsfb driver uses whatever graphics mode the console is set to
-(by Mac OS) as a dumb unaccelerated framebuffer in 8 bits per pixel.
-A default /etc/X11/xorg.conf is installed that uses this driver.
-So you can just use 'startx' or xdm to start X without further
-configuration.
-
-To use xdm from rc.conf, it is necessary to disable /dev/ttyC0 in
-/etc/ttys, change the 'status' of /dev/ttyC0 to 'off'.

Accelerated drivers
-------------------
-The 'ati' driver is currently known to work on the machines with ATI
-Rage 128 or Radeon cards. The 'nv' driver works for machines with
-nVidia cards, although some modes may experience problems.
+For many users of X.Org's servers, an xorg.conf file is not needed,
+simply start X, and it will automatically detect and use your
+hardware. If your hardware is not properly autodetected or supported
+or not supported as you wish, you will have to create a configuration
+file.
-Use Xorg -configure to build a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file before starting
-the server for the first time. Or you can use the sample configuration
-file appended below as a starting point.
+The 'r128 and 'ati' drivers are currently known to work on the
+machines with ATI Rage 128 or Radeon cards. The 'nv' driver works for
+machines with nVidia cards, although some modes may experience
+problems.
You need to set machdep.allowaperture to 2 in /etc/sysctl.conf in
order to be able to use the X.Org accelerated drivers.
