I looked on X.org, & this GPU (Kabini [Radeon HD > 8280 / R3 Series]) isn't even mentioned, & the next 2 under it are listed as > unsupported or partially supported ....

If you want to use xdm with xfce you need to comment out the line in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config. The xfce (and Gnome folks also I guess) changed something in session management. I could not (easily) find the link but the change is by design. I use xdm with .session = #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 and its all good. I do not use hal, all you need do is to comment out Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" This is on 10.0 but I did similiar stuff on a 9.2. The xdm change came with xfce 4.8 (I think) but for sure with 4.10. As I recall from the writeup it is code they share with Gnome (again I think). Hope this helps.
