I've recently started getting exactly the same problem myself. Yes, I haven't had that problem in a good while now. Try doing a "portupgrade -f gdm2", then copy /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh.sample to /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh and run the script to test: /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh start Using the default "factory" configuration, the problem just went away. Of course, I've been doing a *lot* of forced portupgrades lately besides just this one (on a new AMD Athlon 64 box, which is blindingly fast, running an amd64 build of FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT, so the time it takes to do so is now negligible/tolerable), as I'm still experiencing these total system lockups quite a bit (which I suspect are also Gnome-related, as they only seem to happen when Gnome is running), so it's also possible that I benefitted from reinstalling something else as well.
