Hi all -

I've just installed FreeBSD fresh on a new machine, and configured X11 without
any issues.  When I have GDM start from ttys(5), on startup, however, it just
loads X and sits there ... blank 'graphical' screen with an 'X' mousepointer
(which I can move around) in the middle ... No sign of a login box anywhere.

XDM works without issues from ttys(5).

I've added the following to pam.conf(5)

# GDM config
gdm	auth		requisite	pam_unix.so		try_first_pass
gdm	account	requisite	pam_unix.so		try_first_pass
gdm	session	required	pam_permit.so

/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm is as follows:

drwxr-x---  2 gdm   gdm   512  Oct 15 15:33 gdm

Any ideas?

 - Philip
