GNOME does not start

I installed GNOME2 on FreeBSD using pkg install gnome2. When it completed I added these lines to rc.conf:
Code:
gdm_enable="YES"
hald_ename="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"

But it doesn't take effect any more. After reboot, FreeBSD asks for a username, then a password and starts the console as usual. No GNOME GUI. Can you help me in getting the GNOME DE started as soon I boot in?

EDIT
I already installed X.Org too using pkg install xorg.

startx gives the error:
Code:
xauth: file /root/.serverauth.1054 doesnot exists.
xauth: (argv):1 bad display name "www.mydomain.com:0" in list command.
xauth: (stdin):1 bad display name "www.mydomain.com:0" in add command.
shared object "libfreetype.so.9" not found required by "X"
xinit: unable to connect to X server: connection refused.
xauth: (argv):1 bad display name "www.mydomain.com:0" in remove command.
If I type gdm in the console, it gives:
Code:
shared object "libxcb.so.2" not found, required by "gdm library"

There's no need to shout.

Please post your xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
 
These are due to the recent library updates. Easy to solve with ports (see /usr/ports/UPDATING), but I would think the packages would already be fixed.
 
@@SirDice, I am sorry to inform you that there are no such files on my system. However one directory called X11 exists in /etc, but is empty. Any clue?
