How is it supposed to work? Hi, [xdm] You'll need to modify /etc/ttys like this: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure change the off to on, save then then reboot (as per https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-xdm.html) [xsession] In $HOME/.xsession I have this: #!/bin/sh LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8; export LC_ALL exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 --with-ck-launch so each user will need this in their $HOME I don't use the 'switch user' facility of xfce4 because it's not xfce4 that is responsible for the session, it's xdm. So log out of xfce4 (which should return the screen to xdm) and enter the other user details in xdm. -- J.
