It has a serial port, doesn't it? already covered by someone else, though I'll put in a plug for http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#SerCon

Take the sample xorg.conf file as a starting point, BUT DON'T EXPECT IT TO WORK. Now, edit it as indicated by the rest of the README file for your particular system. You will be looking at your dmesg several times. It should be pretty straight forwardr, but you WILL NOT be able to just use the sample config. (well, I can't say that's true on everything, there may be some system where the sample config Just Works, but the U5 is not it. Not sure about the U1. Just treat the sample as a starting point, a framework where you hang your system's details). Nick.
