Solved issue gnome 3

Hi,
I work with FreeBSD 10.3 amd64, the station is a bi quad cores opteron, my video card is a ATI HD 3540 with 512 MO of Ram, i've a procedure for install gnome 3, but this last doesn't work.
Code:
**************************************************************************************
               FreeBSD Gnome3 configuration
**************************************************************************************


pkg install xorg

pkg install gnome3
# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome3
# make install clean

/etc/fstab
proc           /proc       procfs  rw  0   0

 /etc/rc.conf

dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"

% echo "exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc

% echo "#!/bin/sh" > ~/.xsession
% echo "exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session" >> ~/.xsession
% chmod +x ~/.xsession

Maybe I forgot some thing, because 2 days ago my station works fine with gnome 3. But I must to configure another OS.

This the /var/log/Xorg.0.log after running startx
