On sparc64, the glint driver is not built under OpenBSD. If you can
upgrade to a -current snapshot, you can try to build the glint driver
from xenocara:

mkdir /usr/xobj
cd xenocara/driver/xf86-video-glint
make -f Makefile.bsd-wrapper obj
make -f Makefile.bsd-wrapper build

and try to start X again.

Building the glint driver under OpenBSD 4.0 (in the XF4 tree) is more
painful as you need to rebuild all of X. Look at xc/config/cf/OpenBSD.cf
in the sparc64 section for a way to enable the build.

But I'm not sure that this is enough to get it working on the E450. The
vgafb driver in the sparc64 port has some known problems that may
prevent the glint driver from working.
