Default openbsd 5.1 radeon dri/drm

greetings,

my laptop has a radeon mobility 4200 gpu, which is (afaik) supported by the open source drivers. in openbsd 5.0 it worked flawlessly on first boot (tested with glxgears and etracer).

i installed openbsd 5.1 the other day, and while everything works fine, xorg seems to run without any acceleration whatsoever. i tried to stop xdm and do an Xorg -configure, but that failed. i noticed that it didn't ask whether to install non-free firmware on first boot (during install). i did it manually (with fw_update -v), but apparently the video firmware was up to date.

i'm really stumped and suspect that i'm missing something painfully obvious here. could someone point me in the right direction?

thanks,
bamdad
