There was an xdm patch that was previously applied to the xorg-clients package, which hasn't been included in the new seperate xdm package for xorg-7.2. I opened a PR about this last week (ports/112932), and that PR includes a version of the patch, if you want to try adding it to your own ports tree: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=112932&getpatch=1 (save the patch in the directory "/usr/ports/x11/xdm/files", rebuild and install the xdm port, restart xdm or reboot). Regards, Neil.
