The only thing that looks vaguely suspicious to me is that xfs's
controlling terminal was revoked.

Here is my startx (comments and blank lines elided to save space).
remember, this works fine if I "xdm &" then "startx" manually:
userclientrc=$HOME/.xinitrc
userserverrc=$HOME/.xserverrc
sysclientrc=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
sysserverrc=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc
clientargs=""
serverargs=""
if [ -f $userclientrc ]; then
 clientargs=$userclientrc
else if [ -f $sysclientrc ]; then
 clientargs=$sysclientrc
fi
fi
if [ -f $userserverrc ]; then
 serverargs=$userserverrc
else if [ -f $sysserverrc ]; then
 serverargs=$sysserverrc
fi
fi
whoseargs="client"
while [ "x1ドル" != "x" ]; do
 case "1ドル" in
	/''*|\.*)	if [ "$whoseargs" = "client" ]; then
		 clientargs="1ドル"
		else
		 serverargs="1ドル"
		fi ;;
	--)	whoseargs="server" ;;
	*)	if [ "$whoseargs" = "client" ]; then
		 clientargs="$clientargs 1ドル"
		else
		 serverargs="$serverargs 1ドル"
		fi ;;
 esac
 shift
done
xinit $clientargs -- $serverargs -fp tcp/localhost:7100
I also tried xfs=YES and xdm=YES in rc.conf, commented out console in
ttys, rebooted. Nothing interesting happens -- the disk grinds a bit
and then it just sort of stops.
Cheers,
entropy
