To Whom It May Concern:
Dear Sirs,
I just installed OpenBSD3.4 on my 2nd HD. It boots just fine. However, I am unable to get the X gui to work. Typing "startx" only gives me an error message.
I did look in /etc/sysctl.conf and the line: Machdep.AllowAparture=2 is there.
The instructions within tell me to send you the contents of "XFree86.0.log" so I include that, in total, here: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (- -) Check DevMem: using aperture driver /dev/x86 (- -) Using wscons driver in pcvt compatibility mode (version 3.32) (ww)GARTInit:AGPIOC_info Failed (Device not configured)

As this error log says it, you need to configure your X server first, to provide the configuration file (/etc/X11/XF86Config) that's missing.
OpenBSD ships with a /usr/X11R6/README file that contains instructions on how to do it.
