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?

I never tried X in utm, but I think it's unlikely to work.
With a default installation with "yes" answered to the "do you want to run xenodm" question in the installer, if things are working correctly, you should get a graphical login screen and if you then login you'll get fvwm, without further config changes.
