Probably, but xdm is itself quite a headache to configure. I've attached to the bottom of this file the contents of my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm directory. It's got xdm files configured in such a way that it works on my FreeBSD host. You also just need to add this line to /etc/ttys: ttyv4 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure And then do `kill -1 1' to get init to reread the config files.

When you boot up, does FreeBSD detect three different serial ports? You can find this out by typing dmesg | grep ^sio You should see entries for sio0, sio1, and sio2. If there's no sio2, then COM3 won't be usable. What you need to do is tell FreeBSD what the IRQ and port address of your sio2 port is. If it is showing up, then the problem might be in the serial communication between the mouse and XFree86. What kind of mouse is it? Anyway, here are the xdm files. This is a uuencoded, gzip'd tar file. To extract, save this message to a file. Then type cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm tar xzvf file This will overwrite your existing config files, so you might want to back them up. ---- begin 644 xdm.tar.gz M'XL("`7Z>B\``WAD;2YT87(`[5M[<]NX$<^_XJ?`Q;F+[9H22;ULI;V9Q'E.
