Restarting this thread, I've tried all I can, checked and modified /etc/ttys, 
checked the Xservers file, and X, recently built/rebuilt from pkgsrc, won't 
start, no screens found.

It seems to not matter what I have for ttyE4, or if that line is omitted 
entirely.

X server looking for nonexisting font paths commented out in xorg.conf because 
modular-xorg-server is built to look for fonts on the wrong preconfigured paths 
undermines my confidence.

I looked at corresponding files in NetBSD 6.1_STABLE and FreeBSD-current amd64 
to compare but couldn't find anything to make X work in NetBSD.

FreeBSD ports' modular-xorg meta-package does not include xdm, in contrast to 
NetBSD pkgsrc version, though xdm is available in FreeBSD ports.

My /etc/ttys is
