I ask because the developer screwed with it in the last two versions and now it won't let me choose my window manager like it used to. Are you running GDM or XDM? If you want to run GDM, then use the sample script that came with the distribution and rename it from gdm.sh.sample to just gdm.sh. Place it in a startup directory which should be defined in your /etc/rc.conf. Usually, this defaults to /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d. You could probably go with /usr/local/etc/rc.d, too. Are you running XDM? XDM uses the FUNCTION keys (F1, F2, etc.) to choose different options. This can be defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm. Particularly, you can hack the Xresources file (copy what they did with failsafe, but use a different function key). Then, add a statement to the case structure in Xsession. This is how GDM used to work. Let me know if you have any luck.

I ask because the developer screwed with it in the last two versions and now it won't let me choose my window manager like it used to. Are you running GDM or XDM? If you want to run GDM, then use the sample script that came with the distribution and rename it from gdm.sh.sample to just gdm.sh. Place it in a startup directory which should be defined in your /etc/rc.conf. Usually, this defaults to /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d. You could probably go with /usr/local/etc/rc.d, too. Are you running XDM? XDM uses the FUNCTION keys (F1, F2, etc.) to choose different options. This can be defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm. Particularly, you can hack the Xresources file (copy what they did with failsafe, but use a different function key). Then, add a statement to the case structure in Xsession. This is how GDM used to work. Let me know if you have any luck.

I ask because the developer screwed with it in the last two versions and now it won't let me choose my window manager like it used to. Are you running GDM or XDM? If you want to run GDM, then use the sample script that came with the distribution and rename it from gdm.sh.sample to just gdm.sh. Place it in a startup directory which should be defined in your /etc/rc.conf. Usually, this defaults to /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d. You could probably go with /usr/local/etc/rc.d, too. Are you running XDM? XDM uses the FUNCTION keys (F1, F2, etc.) to choose different options. This can be defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm. Particularly, you can hack the Xresources file (copy what they did with failsafe, but use a different function key). Then, add a statement to the case structure in Xsession. This is how GDM used to work. Let me know if you have any luck.

Using XDM, I logging in and the GNOME splash loaded and an error was produced.
 
"The settings Daemon restarted too many times.
 
 The last error message was:
 
 Failed to execute gnome-settings-daemon: 9 (no such file or directory)
 
GNOME will try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in."
 
.xsession-errors output:
 
"SESSION_MANAGER=local/puffy.someplace.com:/tmp/.ICE-unix/30328

No errors found in .xdm-errors
 
Anyone know a fix for this?
