Post-installation instructions for X.Org on OpenBSD/alpha
---------------------------------------------------------

OpenBSD uses the X.Org X server on alpha. 

Currently, only TGA video cards are supported.

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.
