I must say you that I am new user of FreeBSD, and therefore I need some advice. And here is my problem: when I installed FreeBSD and added KDE environment as the default X Window environment for my system, everything was perfect, except the fact that I cannot enable xdm to log in X Window environment properly (HERE IS THE CORE OF THE PROBLEM: when I enabled xdm in etc/ttys file, then after rebooting xdm started, but when I entered login and password, xdm, again, started, that is, this program was like cycled) instead of logging in console. I strictly followed the instructions given in Chapter 5 of the FreeBSD Handbook, but I couldn't do anything about it. May be the problem is that the instructions are not enough detailed for me. That is why I ask you to help me. Thank you in advance. Yours sincerely, Vadym Yepishov, Ukrainian fan of FreeBSD
