OpenBSD uses the X.Org X server on alpha.

The wsfb driver supports the TGA as a dumb framebuffer at 8 or 24 bits

|
per pixel, depending on the card model.
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the tga(4) manual page for instructions on setting
|
|
|
|
|
the resolution of a TGA card.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start either xdm(1) or startx(1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a. Start xdm(1), the X display manager by activating the xdm_flags option
|
|
|
|
|
in /etc/rc.conf(8) or /etc/rc.conf.local(8). You need to disable
|
|
|
|
|
the getty process attached to /dev/ttyC0 if your video card is a TGA.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b. Start startx(1) from a console shell. It is the X script that starts
|
|
|
|
|
the X server and a few X applications, including a window manager.
