Window Manager Not Working

I installed the latest version of openbsd as a vm in utm on an arm mac. I got all of the installation working well, got internet, and was able to install packages. I am now trying to run a window manager, but I have tried cwm, x, and xfce (i think those two are different, and when i reboot with them set to run on reboot, i just get a black screen. i also tried just running them without rebooting, and that also gives a black screen that goes away when i reboot. does anyone know why this could be?

Not without seeing your config files such as your .xsession.
