Hey everybody, I'm having a frustrating X problem. I installed X via portupgrade and hacked /etc/ttys to enable xdm. I can log in successfully both as root and as a non-priv user, but either way I get to a screen that says: Session Menu Load Session # Delete Session # Break Lock # Default/Fail Safe # Cancel But if I disable xdm and simply use startx, it launches X and my window manager fine. I tried deleting my .xinitrc but that didn't help. I have a feeling some X component isn't in place. I tried compiling gdm as a replacement but that didn't help (same symptoms). I was able to run gdmsetup (or was it gdmconfig?) by logging into gdm in fail-safe mode, and I could change some of the GDM settings, but I didn't see anything that I could twist to fix the problem. FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE May 12 xorg-6.9.0
