...& as I understand, this comes from a closed binary driver which nVidia makes available, but no accompanying source.
The OpenBSD project refuses, due to its philosophy, to include or encorporate unknown blobs which cannot be studied & corrected. Given that the drivers from these other projects are not compatible, you have two choices:
- Determine if running the VESA driver, vesa(4), provides an alternative.
- Stay away from nVidia graphics hardware when it comes to OpenBSD.
While this may be unacceptable, this is the reality of the project, the developers know it, & the situation is not likely to change in the near future.
