I'm using using wdm and it seems to be working pretty well. Install all your visual goodies and edit your /etc/ttys so that your ttyv8 line reads as follows: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/wdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure You may want to do this behind a firewall so that you limit the people who can access the machine. XF86/Gnome aren't started at boot, but will start when a successful login happens through the graphical login manager, assuming you've setup your init file properly. If gnome starts up when you run startx, it should be ok. -Otter p.s. your /etc/ttys changes won't take effect until you reboot or re-init the machine. }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Joe Oliveiro }Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2000 3:25 PM }To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: Xfree/Gnome off the boot? } } } }I'm trying to get my XFree86/Gnome to load off the start }without having to }log into the box and type 'startx'.
