Try:
/boot/loader.conf
beastie_disable="YES"
More aggressive, if you enjoy a blackout period:
boot_mute="YES"

Thanks Graham, I'll try this.Try:
/boot/loader.conf

Alright so I did this and I get a login from slim, but after logging in I'm left with a black screen. I added dwm to my startup, but I guess I need to configure x to start on launch too. How can I do that? I read the FreeBSD section on X11 and couldn't find where it explains how to do this.Add slim_enable="YES" to your /etc/rc.conf
Please, read the instructions at the end of the package installation, they USUALLY include instructions on what to enable.Ope, I mispoke. I installed slim via packages, if that makes a diffrence.
pkg -D info {package_name}
to see it at a later time. sysrc slim_enable=yes

What's in your .xinitrc or your .xsession (I can never remember which one).
This only does anything when I run startx though. Is there some way to direct slim to dwm so it will actually open it after I log in? I can use ctrl+alt+F1-F10 to got to another virtual terminal in FreeBSD, but F9 where Slim launches just stays completly black.exec xterm &
dwm
slim_enable="YES"
. /usr/local/bin/dwm
which dwm
will tell you where).Ok, first thing:
Is this the .xinitrc file output?
If so, you need to provide a path to dwm.
This is important, because you're basically in a shell, and you need to use shell commands:
. /usr/local/bin/dwm
exec xterm &
. /usr/home/*user*/build/suckless/dwm (this is where it's installed on my machine)
as well as the /usr/bin/dwm path you recommended
