Take a look in /usr/ports/x11/gdm2/pkg-message : GDM is installed. Please note the following: - This port has been tested on 5.0-CURRENT and 4.4-RELEASE and higher. - If you are running a version of FreeBSD prior to 4.5-PRERELEASE, you should append these lines to your /etc/pam.conf, otherwise GDM will refuse all logins: # gdm config gdm auth requisite pam_unix.so try_first_pass gdm account requisite pam_unix.so try_first_pass gdm session required pam_permit.so - Do _NOT_ use /etc/ttys to start gdm at boot time. This will result in gdm hanging or restarting constantly. Instead, copy the included gdm.sh.sample script to gdm.sh, and restart. This script is found, by default, in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d.
