I tried "Xorg -configure" and then "Xorg -config ~/xorg.conf.new" but got the same failure.

Sometimes with NetBSD, what fails on one computer works on another.  An old NetBSD-5.1_STABLE i386 installation fails to boot on this motherboard.  There have also been differences in console behavior.

But not this time.  I tried on the other computer, where I had NetBSD installation from the same source, mounted the other by NFS, startx failed the same way.

Maybe try again after the next update to modular-xorg-server?
