The documentation is your friend! If you installed the documentation, you can find your answers at: kdm - /usr/share/doc/handbook/x-xdm.html xfs - /usr/share/doc/handbook/x-fonts.html (I'm not sure how xfs is being started on my system, because I am not doing it manually, but it is being run) If you did not install the documenation, it is still available online at www.freebsd.org.
