Thanks for responding Shane.
However, the "NoCompositeSync" option made no
difference when I put it in my "/root/XF86Config.new" file. (I'm such a newbie,
I'm not sure that is where to put the change...)
I still get the black screen
which flashes grey for maybe 1/10 second about every four
seconds. This occurs for about 10 minutes and then the system locks up and
must be electrically reset.
I scanned all the relevant man pages I could find
and found no references for the fragment "NoComposite". So, is there a new name
for this option in 4.0? The xf86cfg man page mentions XFree86 4.0, so I
presume that is the version I'm running with my OpenBSD 3.1 pristine CD
install.
The files I posted at http://66.181.46.77/x11/ have error
messages like this:

0x0000 I can't make much sense of these messages. I have reinstalled OpenBSD
from the CD-ROM several times, so have a hard time believing some file is
missing. The identical install works on two older much-slower
machines. (But who wants to develop on a 486 with a 640x480 peephole).
