freebsd-questions: I have a machine running FreeBSD 11.0 i386, XDM, and XFCE: 2016-12-26 19:48:26 dpchrist@t7400 ~ $ freebsd-version 11.0-RELEASE-p1 2016-12-26 19:48:42 dpchrist@t7400 ~ $ uname -a FreeBSD t7400 11.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1 #0 r306420: Thu Sep 29 03:40:55 UTC 2016 root@releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 2016-12-26 19:48:44 dpchrist@t7400 ~ $ pkg info xdm | grep -i version Version : 1.1.11_6 2016-12-26 19:48:51 dpchrist@t7400 ~ $ pkg info xfce | grep -i version Version : 4.12_1 I installed Xorg per the handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html However, I was unable to figure out how to exit TWM -- left-clicking on desktop and choosing Exit caused the windows to go blank and mouse clicks to no longer do anything. I had to ssh in from another machine and kill the xinit process. I then installed XFCE per the Handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html 2016-12-26 19:48:55 dpchrist@t7400 ~ $ cat .xinitrc exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 --with-ck-launch 2016-12-26 19:53:46 dpchrist@t7400 ~ $ cat .xsession #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 --with-ck-launch I was able to start Xfce via 'startx'. Choosing Mouse -> Log out brought me back to the shell. I then installed XDM per the Handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-xdm.html After rebooting, XDM comes up, I can log in, XFCE works, and log out returns me to XDM. How do I enable GUI Shutdown and Restart capabilities in both XDM and XFCE? TIA, David
