Hello,
The problem I'm encountering seems quite common, but I've read every piece of documentation that I can find and scoured countless forum posts without being able to resolve it. I can shutdown or reboot my computer from the logout button on xfce4, but I can't logout to a shell prompt without encountering a black screen and having to reboot the machine. I should also note that I can't use
I'm running FreeBSD 10 Stable, upgraded from Release, using the instructions from here http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/stable.html:
I installed and updated the ports tree:
I created /etc/make.conf with:
I installed x11/xorg from ports, using
and accepted the defaults.
I edited /etc/rc.conf as follows:
I rebooted.
I installed x11-wm/xfce4 from ports, using
and accepted the defaults.
I've rebuilt the files listed on the wiki, but still no go. I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and don't know what else to do. I've tried to find the error in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log but can't spot the problem. Any help would be much appreciated. I have an Intel Core i3 with HD 2000 graphics, and my log file is here:

Thank you.

I should also note that I can't use
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
either in a terminal window or by setting it in an .xinitrc because when I try and use ctrl_alt_bksp
my machine crashes; in fact startx
crashes my machine if I even have it in my .xinitrc.I'm running FreeBSD 10 Stable, upgraded from Release, using the instructions from here http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/stable.html:
