Hello Guys, I just install FreeBSD 9, and after compiling Xorg, I started trying to figure out how to install a Window Manager. When Following the handbook, I suggest installing XDM. I want to use something like Openbox, as my window manager, and I can't figure out if Openbox is a replacement for XDM, or something on top of XDM. I now there are alternative to XDM directly like LightDM ect., but the same questions applies to them. So what is the function of XDM (or alternatives), and is it necessary to have to run a WM, or DE for that sake? Thanks Christian G
