Solved Fails to load xfce?

Hi

I have installed Xorg, XDM and Xfce4 (with ports).

When I startx from command it show unbranded pure xorg (or so I think).
When I configure xdm to start at boot I get prompt to log in, I enter root and password for root. It just takes me back to the same prompt to log in.

Some background information: I have rebooted 30 times, annoying that one can not use ctrl + f2 to change terminal, like when XDM is active. I had to use single user, su root and the remount with rw, so I could edit files.
I wonder if xinitrc has something to do with it. I can't find a local .xinitrc in /root.

I have been away from BSD and Linux. But in my youth I managed to setup FreeBSD and Gentoo. As long as the documentation was word for word correct. The FreeBSD documentation fails to guide me.
 
Thanks for fast reply.

Now I can change terminals : )

I managed to enter Xfce as well. I wrote the echo command as specified but changed ~ to /root.

I had before seen it as - (and not as a ~)
Writing on iPad, compiling chromium browser now.
