-hackers is not for tech support, it's for discussions about FreeBSD's
inner workings and other voodoo stuff. This belongs on -stable or
-current, depending on which version you run (you didn't say - another

Don't use DEVFS.

Did you try to log in on a virtual console and check your
.xsession-errors?

Did you try to log in on a virtual console and check the xdm logs
(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors)?

Did you try to switch to a virtual console while xdm appeared to be
hung and check what processes were running?
