I'm stuck. I installed 8.0-RELEASE and got it working with GNOME 2.26.mumble (whatever the package was on the install DVD image). Then I deleted all ports and reinstalled with portmaster, starting with Xorg 7.4.2, then gnome2, etc.
After rebuilding, editing rc.conf to include 'gnome_enable="YES"' and rebooting I get a gdm display, but can't figure out how to log in. When I type printable characters they go in an unlabeled text box, but do nothing. I can click on the system name/release text and get it to switch to the other. There is nowhere else to type or click except for the accessibility stuff in the lower right corner. Did I skip a step or something?
I reinstalled gnome 2.26 from the DVD again for now...
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
