Try it from the simplest configuration first. in custom.conf only have this option enabled: [xdmcp] Enable=true Then restart gdm. Check that it's listening on udp/177 using sockstat -l4 (or 6 if on ipv6). Check that you can connect to it locally, try Xnest :1 -query localhost Finally check with a remote client. By running make config in x11/gdm check whether it was built with ipv6 option checked. There are some reports, that clients compiled with ipv6 may fail to connect to ipv4 gdm servers even if they're both on ipv4 network. I know that current gdm is working ok for xdmcp serving clients to Ubuntu 6.0.6 and 7.04 clients, as well as other FreeBSD clients. Hope this helps.
