So - I fallen in love with FreeBSD. Linux was fun but its like having 100 cooks making a stew. The beef, fish and goat together? Too many cooks. And I like software that actually compiles on my machine. I can't tell you how insane it makes me to try to compile from source on a Linux machine and have to fiddle with it for hours or days.
Anyhow - as you can guess I've only just discovered there is an alternative to Linux. Everything has gone great (And its understandable) but.... I've gotten stuck for a day and a half on one silly thing. I get to the X graphical login screen. If I type in a login with the wrong password it tells me that it's wrong in big red letters. If I type in a valid account and password the screen goes away. Does something then comes right back to the login screen. If I Ctrl alt f1 I can log in (Same account password) type
I looked around for a while for someone with this problem and haven't had any luck. I'm pretty sure my xorg.conf file is correct I'm not sure which other ones pertain to this. *Never had an X11 login screen. XDM? Is it? Anyway I didn't get cute. I tried to do it per the FreeBSD Handbook example.
Has anyone an idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks much for any suggestions.

startx
and it runs fine. It even runs jwm which is the only command in my .xintric file. *I would like it to also run rox (A graphical file manager) but? Not sure where that properly goes.I looked around for a while for someone with this problem and haven't had any luck.
