Following Nolans mail hald forks before it can be reached through dbus. The order in which things get started is right, but your assumption that things aren't really set up when hald and dbus fork appear to be correct. As a really dirty workaround I'd change the tty line: ttyv8 "/bin/sleep 3;/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure Of course insert your login manager of choice, here. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
