Then installed xfce package. Made no config changes to xorg or the xdm config files. At this point i suspect the port of xorg as not being configured correctly. That the default xdm config files have statement error causing xdm not to function. So the big question is has anybody installed the release 7.1 package version of xorg and was able to get xdm to function without any config file changes?
