Do you have physical access to the FreeBSD system? If so look at .xsession-errors in your home dir. In /var/log you will have Xorg.0.log and some other simiarly name files. It seemed like getting xfce started was at least part of the problem. If not, sorry for the noise. I use xdm with my .xsession as follows: artemis:~> cat .xsession #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 startxfce4 from the console login also works. I do not have any other user defined files.
