I'm a BSD idiot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I looked at BSD rc.d things. But you know I've never ran BSD - not sure why is good or bad compared to [Debian] linux. It looks like there may be allot I don't know even if I read it / tried to research it. I'm trying to release the below in a way in which any BSD users can use if they so please. Maybe it's not worth showing others. see for yourself if that's an issue. http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xdm-options/ (an xdm "sample config" suite but complete "round trip": chooser, login, desktop chooser, xdm server: by menus no hacking req. is the release hope) It needs /etc/inittab (launch X display by it's sh script). It needs /etc/rc.d (start the xdm server by it's sh script). I looked at BSD rc.d things. But you know I've never ran BSD - not sure why is good or bad compared to [Debian] linux. Any advice? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: remko State-Changed-When: Tue Mar 8 06:06:11 UTC 2011 State-Changed-Why: Hello, thank you for using FreeBSD! You might consider to contact the x11@freebsd.org mailinglist so that they might point you whether this is OK or not or possibly the ports@freebsd.org mailinglist instead. Since this is not a problem report I will close this PR. Thanks http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=155242 >Unformatted:
