Hello, I have problem with xdm and found out this message: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2007-September/005169.html Hi all, after upgrading Xorg to version 7.3 xdm failed to start. A short truss revealed that xdm reads its config files in /usr/local/share/examples/xdm/ instead of (as expected and done in 7.2) /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/. Obviously, x11/xdm/Makefile adds "--with-xdmconfigdir=${EXAMPLESDIR} --with-xdmscriptdir=${EXAMPLESDIR}" to CONFIGURE_ARGS, which does not only control the location of the included examples but also the paths where xdm looks for its configuration. I guess this was missed in testing because in these days nobody changes his xdm config :) Regards Christoph -- Spare Space I had a look in x11/xdm/Makefile and found out that the argument ${EXAMPLESDIR} has not fixed yet. Please tell me how to fix this error to make xdm work normally. Tran Chi Thien.
