Default OpenBSD 6.4 lost X windows for user

Just installed the latest version 6.4 on my Lenovo laptop. It was working absolutely perfectly for me using the Blackbox wm. I saw the latest patch 001 and did a syspatch. After that I can no longer get X11 to run for a user, only root.

This is what is in the Xorg.0.log file for the user:

failed to open /dev/xf86 and /dev/mem, permission denied

also:

check that the /etc/sysctl.conf file has 'machdep.allowaperature=1'

No screens found, server terminated.

The /etc/sysctl.conf file didn't exist. I created it. and now when the system is booting up an error is displayed saying - machdep.allowaperature=1, second level name is invalid

I still have root running X11, but not a user. Not sure if the patch killed X or not.

Please help
