Installed a fresh FreeBSD-8.0, xorg, configured xorg for my screen, installed xdm. After reboot I see a graphical login window. When entering username and password, it seems to accept it, but immediatly present the graphical login window again. (In console mode (Ctrl-Alt-F1) I can login at the login: prompt with the same username/password). Has FreeSBD somewhere a default environment (in that case why does it not appear after logging in at the XDM graphical window) or do you still need to install a Desktop environment (Gnome, KDE, Xfce) and is it normal that after logging in at the XDM window, you are thrown out again..
