had similar problems...

if you dont mind starting your wmanager manually, without using xdm or similar programs, try
adding sth like this to your /etc/ttys files...

comment out the line that starts xdm -nodaemon
and add a similar one to start the XFree86

sth like

ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86" xterm on secure

this shud result in X starting every time you start your system with the X-mouse screen and the
pixel-chessboard background.

make a small script to start your wmanager in your home dir


#!/bin/sh
/usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker -display :0

(thats for me, i use windowmaker, add there what you wud normally add to .xinitrc or .xsession)

chmod +x filename_to_start_window_manager

shud work...
