Both of your Xorg logs show that your platform is running in framebuffer mode. Your dmesg shows an ATI video card.

Read along with me in FAQ 11.2.10 for macppc. It appears you've missed this vital information:
Quote:
Supported Macintosh PPC systems can be run in one of two different ways: "accelerated" and "framebuffer" (unaccelerated).

In the "framebuffer" mode, the system will be running with 8 bits per pixel, and the video resolution is controlled by the Macintosh environment, so you will probably want to keep a small MacOS section on your disk to adjust these settings. This mode has the advantage of "Just Working", however it can be frustratingly inflexible (for example, altering resolution may require booting MacOS).

If your Macintosh has an ATI-based video system, it can run using an accelerated X server, which gives better performance and more control in the OpenBSD environment. The NVIDIA video cards in some macppc systems will also work in many cases. The README file has details on configuring the accelerated driver, start by using the sample file there.
