(In reply to Yusuf Khan from comment #51)
Ok, I have some result.
I followed the path of inspecting the source code of the hw directory changes:
xorg-server-1.20.14 (which worked)
xorg-server-21.1.4 (stopped working)
xorg-server-21.1.11 (installed now)
Xenocara (OpenBSD worked).
I will not describe in detail, the process itself...

And the differences made by the OpenBSD developers in the file
hw/xfree86/modes/xf86Modes.c helped me:

     libxcvt_mode_info =
         libxcvt_gen_mode_info(HDisplay, VDisplay, VRefresh, Reduced,
Interlaced);

     Mode->HDisplay   = libxcvt_mode_info->hdisplay;
     Mode->Clock      = libxcvt_mode_info->dot_clock;

I modified this file in the xorg-server-21.1.11 source code (or rather borrowed
it from Xenocara), created the xorg-server-21.1.11.tar.xz archive and
downloaded it to /usr/ports/distfiles/ on my laptop.

In the xorg-server directory of the port tree, made changes to the distinfo
file according to the received archive (changed): SHA256.., SIZE...
and: 
# make install 
...
# make clean

(Having first removed the installed xorg-server.)

As a result, when I enter startx, I get TWM on the laptop screen with a native
extension of 1280x800.

This worked for me.

I will try to create a suitable package to replace xorg-server on a different,
non-test disk.
