As you can see, "config/hal: couldn't initialise context:
unknown error (null)" is a very helpful message. :-)
[root@kabini1, /etc, 3:43:15pm] 317 % grep hal /var/log/messages
Aug 5 08:47:54 kabini1 pkg: hal-0.5.14_26 installed
Aug 5 09:16:51 kabini1 root: /usr/sbin/service: WARNING:
$hald_enable
is not set properly - see rc.conf(5).
This is what you should have a look at. You sould have
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
in your /etc/rc.conf file.
[root@kabini1, /etc, 3:43:19pm] 318 % service hal start
hal does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d)
Yes, it's "service hald start". The service's name is "hald"
for "HAL daemon", and HAL means "hardware abstraction layer",
a technology "mandatory" to X (unless you "uncomple" it),
deprecated in Linux long time ago. :-)
[root@kabini1, /etc, 3:43:23pm] 319 % man hal
No manual entry for hal
See "man hald". There are many more manpages referenced in
the "SEE ALSO" section.
hald is in fact running, & both entries are in my rc.conf file ....
A little more input, from login attempt about 5 min. ago:

Any clues appreciated :-/ ....

Could you post the whole Xorg.0.log?
Xdm uses .xinitrc to start a "something" right? Please show your
.xinitrc
I guess you're trying to use xfce, have you verified that all required
packages are installed ( xfce, xorg-server, xf86-video*, xf86-input*?
What graphics hw are you using? Which xorg-stack ( new /old)?
Are you using a xorg.conf or using default on-the-fly-config?
Best regards
Andreas
OK, here goes, see attached. Whenever I startx from the command line
after a console login, XFCE starts up & operates AOK, so I would guess
the install is OK. Gfx hw is a jaguar kabini CPU, w/ GPU on die w/ CPU.
gfx is too new for X.org support, so I am using the vesa driver.
.xinitrc: exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4
