According to instructions in Complete FreeBSD, I did the following to start X automatically. In file /etc/rc.local, I added: echo " xdm"; /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm echo "." <-- I do not know what's this for, but it's in the book. In file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers, I add :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt03 I also make sure that the /dev/ttyv3 is marked off in file /etc/ttys. Now after I reboot, I see the XDM login window and I do the following: username<CR> password<CR> It changes to blank and then back to the XDM login window again! I also tried: username<CR> password<CONTROL+CR> Please help me to login into X. My machine is running FreeBSD 4.0-Release. I use GNOME + Afterstep. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
