openBSDheart, the HD5870 does not currently have any 2D acceleration on OpenBSD. Such acceleration requires kernel modesetting, which is not yet implemented for radeon GPUs on any *BSD.

However, basic 2D modesetting, including a 1440x900 resolution, should work with a relatively recent version of xf86-video-ati. I'm not in front of my OpenBSD box at the moment, so I don't know what version OpenBSD ships with, but it's quite possible (likely, even) that it's not new enough. Please show us your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
