Done -- thanks. :-) Here is a startx capture from 'startx' through Xfce running: Script started on Tue Jan 17 11:46:26 2017 Command: startx xauth: file /home/dpchrist/.serverauth.1036 does not exist X.Org X Server 1.17.4 Release Date: 2015-10-28 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p7 i386 Current Operating System: FreeBSD freebsd 11.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1 #0 r306420: Thu Sep 29 03:40:55 UTC 2016 root@releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Build Date: 12 January 2017 06:45:48AM Current version of pixman: 0.34.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Just my two cents. :) I don't see instructions in the FreeBSD manual for installing Lumina. I don't see instructions in the FreeBSD manual for configuring XDM to choose between multiple desktop environments. (But, I do see a link to the xdm(1) man page and STFW I see a few pages with XDM on FreeBSD 10.) Where can I find information for: 1. Installing Lumina on FreeBSD 11.0? 2. Installing a desktop manager (xdm, lightdm, whatever) on FreeBSD 11.0 and configuring it to work with multiple desktop environments? David
