I wonder ifthis is something we should be exploring (where does/did gdm take itslist of sessions?)DavidI'm not seeing any mention of sddm in this thread.Have you tried it?I've found it to be the easiest way to support multiple desktopenvironments on FreeBSD, and the latest release is already in wip/sddm(though I haven't tried building it yet). I have gdm-2.18.4 working for 10.99.4 AMD64 X11 MUST be from NATIVE, NOT MODULAR while on root, You can try... export PKG_PATH=http://netbsd.k1.com.br/NetBSD-x86_64-10.0/packages pkg_add -Uv gdm than edit the /usr/pkg/etc/gdm/custom.conf, line 97, 98 change from inactive to active.... edit/insert gdm=YES in /etc/rc.conf start the gdm===> service gdm start, you will get the gdm login... it is working since EVER.... gdm will NOT login on root of uid=0, so create your user and password if your user belongs to the operator group, you will be able to reset/shutdown the machine... If you want to try mate-desktop...=> pkg_add -Uv mate if you want to try a full mate-desktop => pkg_add -Uv mate-lzt to make sure it works, I recommend installing from a clean pkg so ... pkg_delete -f '*' will remove ALL packages, whithout disturb the system and then install the mate-full or the smaller mate-pkg make sure X is working... it install about 870 packages, Enjoy
