Yes, X runs on the BSD. But only older versions of the
xf86-video-openchrome driver work AFAICT, because the drm and kms
drivers have not been ported to the BSD kernels and OpenChrome stopped
working as a pure user mode driver.

OpenBSD is shipping with a version derived from 0.2.906 that used to
work last time I checked.

But I don't have access anymore to hardware suppored by the openchrone
driver to check the current driver or try porting a more recent version.
