Clearing up a few misconceptions:
  • The OpenBSD project does not allow third-party drivers to be integrated into its system. To ensure both security & stability concerns, the developers have to see the code & be able to correct it as needed. Drivers from other operating systems such as Windows or Linux drivers thus cannot be directly integrated into OpenBSD.
  • Source for all available OpenBSD drivers can be found in the project's CVS repository. Information on building can be found in Section 5 of the project's FAQ. "xenocara" is the name of OpenBSD's flavor of X11.
As other responders have already pointed out, generating & tweaking xorg.conf is the first thing you should pursue.
