Hello! I am using FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE. Today I installed x11/xorg and also x11/xdm and them made changes to /etc/ttys as instructed in the Handbook (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-xdm.html#idp63498576) But now I am unable to login in the system. When I boot the system a big rectangle (xdm) pops up as a login screen and when I enter my credentials (username and password) it simply returns back (like the box got refreshed) and again asks for the credentials. No matter how many time I provide the credentials it simply pops up again and again. I tried with normal user account as well as root account. And now I am not able to login in the system at all. Please help. -- Avinash Sonawane (RootKea) PICT, Pune http://rootkea.wordpress.com
