It works [FreeBSD 9.0 BETA 2] partially. $ uname -a FreeBSD e213-amd64-1.grullahighschool.org 9.0-BETA2 FreeBSD 9.0-BETA2 #0: Tue Sep 20 10:02:05 CDT 2011 root@e213-amd64-1:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 $ They have changed /etc/gettytab from cons25 to xterm, and even changing it to cons25 back has no effect. If I type my username and login, startx starts automatically, but after I have logged in by typing my username and password. This is an excerpt of /etc/ttys on FreeBSD 9.0 BETA 2 ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure Something is restricting the automatic login, but don't know how to troubleshoot this.
