Sorry, I'm an idiot. I had the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. The script
gets me booted fine, but gdmconfig still freezes.
By the way, when I run top after gdmconfig has frozen, I get:
331 root 64 0 8892K 5048K RUN 1:53 88.64% 88.43%
gdmconfig
gdmconfig just sits there hogging CPU.
I dunno ... when I reinstalled gdm, I did it by:
cd /usr/ports/x11/gdm
sudo make deinstall
sudo make clean install
Did that perhaps not wipe my previous installs clean?
