Normally, you shouldn't need an xorg.conf nor tweaks.

You probably hit a bug. ;-)

The netbsd-drmgem port has stability issues, but getting a blank screen
is pretty bad.  At least I assume that you're able to get back to a
working console, right?

Does the screen flicker a bit after startx? Is the screen completely
blank, or do you see the mouse pointer?

Also, could you please send the full dmesg and Xorg.0.log, or file an
issue with these files at:
